Santa Claus Station
You've just been given the gift of
new freedom in your journey
It looks as though God is on your side. The rocket you and your companion fired off gathered up good luck from throughout the world, and smashed to smithereens the boulders that were blocking the track, restoring operations to the railway. "Thank God, here comes Santa Claus!"
So, as you stand here at last before the train station, your adventure is about to get a whole lot bigger. The double-track rail stretches away to the other side of the horizon, and there at its end, waiting for you, is a world you've never seen and a friend you've never met. I bet you'll recognize that the moment you've placed your foot on the train's step, in the blink of an eye you've become a step more grown-up.

EVENT CHECK POINT
Thanks to the rocket Lloyd fired off, the track is open for service again. Now you can ride the railway from Santa Claus Station.
