Experience the magic of riding aboard our festively decorated, 100-year-old heated coaches, each of which is covered in thousands of holiday lights! Many of our trackside neighbors also decorate their homes and yards for our passengers to enjoy during this 1-hour evening trip through the Red Clay Valley.
NOTE: This excursion does not feature a visit from Santa Claus. Santa rides the train and visits with children only on the Santa Claus Express.
This event is powered by one of our historic first-generation diesel locomotives.
