A Christmas Tradition continues! Here comes The Santa Express! 

Ride the Seashore Lines on a historic, comfortable and fun train ride with Santa Claus, as Santa returns to visit with children of all ages on board The Santa Express! 

The Santa Express will operate every weekend from the Saturday after Thanksgiving until Christmas.  All Santa Express trains are approximately 75 minute round trips, unless otherwise noted.

For instance, you would board your Santa Express at either Richland Village or Tuckahoe Village, ride for approximately 35 minutes, stop for just a few minutes, and ride approximately 35 minutes back to the station you originally boarded your train. 

All Santa Express trains will feature Santa himself – along with his helpers, on board entertainment, and snack service on the First Class cars: Braddock Inn, Long Island Lounge Car, New York Central 38, and Vista Valley.

Come see why so many folks have made The Santa Express trains holiday traditions….perhaps you’ll start one of your own! And don’t forget to have the kids bring their letters to Santa! It’s Christmas fun for everyone!
