In early December we run our 1½ hour Santa Train Rides in northern New Jersey. Everyone has time to enjoy Santa Claus & other cartoon characters!

During these very well received rides Santa Claus will Ho Ho Ho his way through the train & visit each child giving them a special gift from his bag. In addition each child can have their picture taken with Santa Claus so they can always remember their ride, so bring your cameras. These Santa Train Rides will run rain, snow, sleet or shine.

Mrs. Claus & several helper elves from the North Pole will be on board in addition to several other surprise cartoon characters. This is sure to entertain the kids and make for a great day out for all on board. So why not gather up the children and grandparents and have some great Christmas time fun with a Santa Train Ride? You will be helping to preserve NJ railroad history for generations to come to enjoy.
