Santa Trains

Experience the magic of the season with a trip aboard the Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum's Santa Train! Trains leave the depot in North Judson, Indiana, and take passengers on a leisurely journey through the rural wintery landscape. Passengers get to visit Santa and take family photos to remember the experience. Plus, every child aboard the train receives a special gift from the jolly old elf himself!

Passengers can choose between coach or first class seating options. First class seating options including the opportunity to book the entire car for private groups, suites for up to three people, or general lounge seats.
