Our Polar Express
Train Ride departs
on weekend in December from Lehigh Junction located in the Historic
Main Street area of Phillipsburg New Jersey. On the train you will
re-live the experience of the little boy in The Polar Express©,
written by Chris
Van Allsburg and
published by the Houghton Mifflin Company.
The story focuses on a little boy who has been
told by his friends that there is no Santa Claus. Unwilling to
believe this, he lies awake in his bed on Christmas Eve, waiting for
the sound of Santa's sleigh. Instead, he hears the hissing steam
and squeaking metal of the Polar Express as it stops outside his
window, ready to take him and other children to the North Pole.
During your ride you will listen to this wonderful story, every
child will be served hot chocolate and cookies ( parents who wear
their PJ's also will receive chocolate and cookies) and visit with
Santa. Every child will receive a very special bell from Santa.
Only those who believe can hear the sound of Santa's sleigh bell,
can you?
Our trips leave 2:00 PM 4:00 PM 6:00PM &
8:00 PM on Sat and 2:00PM 4:00PM and 6:00PM on Sunday!
Feel free to wear your pajamas!
All trips will be pulled by our historic antique
diesel locomotive #8142 and consists of antique restored passenger
cars from the 1950's.

later train. |

What happens on the train? The
train is beautifully decorated and you will enjoy the story
of the Polar Express read very audibly over our speaker
system, all choreographed with the polar express music from
the movie. Hot Chocolate and Cookies are served to every

the children along with his elves and each child receives a
bell ( the first gift of Christmas) from Santa. |
