“They will always hold a special place in our heart. We took the train from Flemington to our wedding venue and took our son on his first train ride for the North Pole Express. We couldn’t love them more!”

“Such a beautiful experience when seen through the eyes of our grandchildren! The magic and wonder of Christmas is reflected in their eyes as they interact with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Also, riding on a vintage train, tooting its horn at each whistle stop, enjoying hot cocoa and chocolate chip cookies ….priceless!”

“Before booking I wasn’t expecting much, to be honest. After months of desperately trying to find tickets for another overpriced train rides, I booked the Santa Express. I promised a very special little guy a ride and I had no idea how incredibly real everyone involved in the Santa Express would make the Christmas magic feel for all of us! We drove an hour for this and it was so very worth it. The only way I can explain it is they are that special little mom and pop pizza place and the others are like Dominos. Here it’s just that warm feeling from every single person from the platform to the gift shop.”

“Taking the train with Black River & Western Railroad has become a family tradition. Either to pick out pumpkins at Pumpkin Junction, seeing Santa at their Christmas station or doing an egg hunt with the Easter bunny. Good fun for kids and adults. Always look forward to it every year.”

“Really fun experience. The train cars have such a unique feel. You can almost just feel the experience of the days where they were initially introduced. Really great time! I went with my two young sons who also really enjoyed it. Thank you to Josh and all the amazing staff. They have exceptional knowledge and a real passion for the industry you can tell.”
