Hop a train for a festive wintertime excursion the whole family will enjoy.
Vivian Pospisil and Ilona Westfall
The sweet Christmastime adventure of a young boy in Chris Van Allsburg’s beloved The Polar Express has enthralled children and parents for more than two decades. The story of a magical train trip through a snowy Christmas Eve landscape — complete with “hot cocoa as thick and rich as melted chocolate bars” — has become a winter tradition and inspired Polar Express-themed excursions aboard train lines around Ohio.
Here, we preview three of these journeys, guaranteed to create warm holiday memories and family traditions for years to come.
