Every Christmas dozens of tourist trains get decorated for the season and pull out of the station with kids, hot cocoa, and Santa on board. Some are “Santa Specials” or "North Pole Express" trains, with Santa and elves along; some are special "Polar Express" trains, that re-create the experience of the classic children’s book and movie.

Book in advance for these train rides! Some are so popular that the trains start their first runs to the North Pole in early November.
