Christmas Tree Train

2019 UPDATE: Due to difficulties encountered by our Christmas Tree supplier, the Strasburg Rail Road cannot guarantee a Christmas Tree Train this year. Our management team continues to explore ways to secure the trees needed for this family-favorite event, and we regret that we are unable to offer the Christmas Tree Train at this time. Short of any change in this year's tree supply, we will focus our efforts on bringing this unique holiday ride back for 2020. We apologize for any disappointment, and we thank you for your understanding. Tickets for Santa's Paradise Express and the Night Before Christmas Train remain available.
