SANTA CLAUS EXPRESS

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2024
2:30 PM

Boarding begins at 2:15 PM.


Why stand in line at the mall and wait to see Santa, when you can ride our train and have Santa come to you? The Jolly Old Elf rides the train and greets everyone on board, and gives all children a special treat. Be sure to bring your camera and have Santa pose for pictures with your child during this 1½-hour round-trip to Ashland.

This departure is powered by one of our historic first-generation diesel locomotives.
