Begin your holidays with the Holiday Express!
Beginning November 28, the 1880 Train will roll out the Holiday Express for the 6th consecutive year. It will journey from Hill City to the North Pole where Santa will be waiting to get on board the train. Each child will get the chance to meet Santa and receive a small Christmas gift.
“This train ride is fun for all ages,” explains Black Hills Central President Meg Warder. “We are also excited to provide photos with Santa for the general public in Santa’s Caboose on the same days that the Holiday Express is running.”
