Giveaway: Danbury Railway Museum Hosts Santa Trains

Dec 4,10,11,17 and 18

November 29, 2016
That portly gent from the North Pole will once again pay a visit to the Danbury Railway Museum and you can take a ride in a vintage train through the historic railyard to visit him.  The event will take place on Saturdays and Sundays, December 4, 10-11, and 17-18.  Trains will depart every half-hour from 12:00pm to 3:30pm on Saturdays; 12:30pm to 3:30pm on Sundays.  Admission is $12.00 for ages 2 and up (under 2, free).  

Based on the popularity of this event the past couple of years, reservations are suggested.  Due to its popularity the last few years, on both Saturday evenings again this year, a special night-time ride at 4:30pm is being scheduled.  Take an evening ride through the lighted railyard!

The short train ride in a fully-restored 1953 New Haven Railroad Rail Diesel Car (RDC) will take you through the railyard, past the only powered turntable in Connecticut — listed on the National Historic Register — and over 70 vintage railroad cars, locomotives and many unique pieces of railroad history.  The train ride will terminate at Santa's own private railcar where you'll be greeted by Mrs. Claus and Santa's helpers in Toyland.

Of course, the exhibits and multiple operating model train layouts inside the restored 1903 Danbury station will also be open as will the be the well-stocked gift shop.  Also inside the station, you’ll find free hot chocolate, temporary tattoos and other activities for the little ones.
