Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum To Run Santa Trains

Oct. 17—The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum announced its Santa Trains will begin operation on November 25 and run every Saturday up until December 23.

Families can ride in a vintage commuter coach through the countryside for approximately five miles from North Judson to the small town of English Lake. After crossing the Kankakee River, the train returns to the depot and museum grounds. During the trip, passengers will enjoy visiting with Santa Claus and each child will receive a gift bag.

Diesel powered trains depart on each Saturday beginning November 25 at 10 a.M., noon, 2 p.M., and 4 p.M. Each day. The total length of each excursion is approximately 1 hour. Ticket prices begin at $20 and are pro-rated, depending upon age. Purchasing tickets online is recommended, as trains have sold out in past years. Seating is restricted, in order to give Santa enough time to visit and take pictures with all the passengers. Purchase tickets at www.Hoosiervalley.Org.

Admission visit the museum and grounds is always free. The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum is located at the former crossroads of the Pennsylvania, Chesapeake & Ohio, Erie, and New York Central Railroads. It has one of the largest collections of working railroad signals.

The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and education of railroad history. The museum is open Saturdays, year-round, and some select Sundays. Regular train excursions are May through September.
