All Aboard: Santa Train arrives this weekend at Nevada Railroad Museum in Carson City
The Santa Train is arriving this weekend and next weekend in Carson City at the Nevada State Railroad Museum. Trains operate this Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 10-11 and next weekend, Dec. 17-18.
Santa will join the museum crew on historic steam trains from the Virginia and Truckee Railway and tickets are now on sale. Train rides last approximately 20 minutes and run every half hour from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Children can visit with Santa and write him a letter at a special table, board the train, receive candy canes and take part in many other festivities.
The Friends of the Nevada State Railroad Museum will sell raffle tickets for prizes to support year-round events. The Lazy Hog will be providing refreshments featuring their full menu during this weekend and the Warren Engine Company will sell hot cocoa and other refreshments on Dec. 17-18.
Guests are also encouraged to stop in the museum’s Jacobsen Interpretive Center where holiday photos with the historic Inyo steam locomotive will be available for purchase. A separate admission applies to the center. Also, visit the Museum Store for great deals on holiday gifts for the whole family.
Santa Train tickets are $5 for all riders except children 2 and younger who are free when they sit on an adult’s lap.
Tickets can be purchased online for specific times. Go to the Nevada State Railroad Museum’s Facebook page and click on the “Get Tickets” tab. In addition, tickets will be also available for purchase before each ride.
