Join us on Santa’s North Pole Express Train, similar to our Santa’s Steam Train Ride, but unique in that it’s drawn by our vintage diesel locomotives. Click here for more about Santa’s Steam Train Ride.
Depart from New Hope Station with Santa and Mrs. Claus for a memorable train journey through the historical landscapes of Bucks County, leading to the North Pole.
The adventure starts with the Conductor’s cry “All Aboard”! Regardless of whether you’re a first-time visitor or revisiting for a customary family experience, you’ll relish in the holiday ambiance, enriched by Christmas carols played by our wandering musicians, while savoring hot cocoa and a freshly baked cookie.
Share your heartfelt wishes with Santa and Mrs. Claus as they visit the youngsters. Each child will be gifted a sleigh bell from Santa himself. We encourage everyone, children and adults alike, to immerse themselves in the holiday spirit. Wear your cozy pajamas and settle in for a soothing ride amidst loved ones in our holiday-themed railway cars bedecked with festive decor.
This jubilant annual affair will certainly become a treasured family custom each holiday season.
Before leaving the station, make sure to stroll around our beautifully ornamented railroad premises. Our restored 1891 Freight House Gift Shop and Christmas Gift Shop, situated within the historic 1891 Victorian-style Passenger Station, are the perfect spots for your last-minute holiday shopping needs.
Everyone at New Hope Railroad extends their warmest holiday greetings and wishes you a blissful, healthy season. We eagerly await your presence onboard soon.
