illumination tour question

I'm wondering how much to bundle up tonight. Are the trolleys heated or the open-air variety? Can someone enlighten me? Thanks.

The trolleys have plastic window coverings. As I recall from previous years, you need a winter jacket and gloves, but it's definitely warmer than outside.

Wow, my memory must be messed up -- I would have sworn the trolleys had real windows! I feel like I can even recall them being opened and closed. Hm.

In any case, normal outdoor attire works for people and some even take some of that off. A picture of guiding last year reveals that I have on a tank top under a light jacket, and I'm pretty sensitive to chill, so it couldn't have been too cold inside.

I also thought they had real glass windows. Maybe not all of them are the same?

I may be remembering wrong too...Or maybe the back half is solid windows, and the front half is plastic. Anyway, wear your winter coat. You can always unzip/remove if it's too warm. Don't bother with long underwear, etc

Remember that all the trolleys will be stuffed with people, so it's going to be warmer than outside no matter what. See you there!

I was just on one. All the windows were glass, and it was plenty warm!

Me too, but at least some of this year's trolleys were half glass windows and half plastic.

Actually, the windows in back were plastic.

Everybody was right!

I was just on one too, and I ended up sitting right over the heater....it was indeed very warm.
