The Stourbridge Line – Santa Christmas Tree Express
The Zipper Junction Project™, will be collecting toy and monetary donations at the train stations where The Stourbridge Line departs and arrives for the Santa Christmas Tree Express excursions. Bring a toy, have some cookies and cocoa, ride the train, and even pick out a Christmas tree! What a wonderful way to spend the day while also helping the community that the railroad calls home.

Excursion Details from The Stourbridge Line: Climb aboard for a unique Christmas experience with a ride on the Santa Christmas Tree Express. Travel in comfort in our heated coaches as we dash down the tracks to our trackside Christmas Tree Farm. Once we arrive, climb off the train (steps required) to visit Santa, pick your favorite Christmas Tree, and enjoy complimentary Hot Chocolate.

Passengers will have approximately one hour to visit Santa and choose and purchase that unique Christmas tree. We’ll bale and tag it, and you can watch it being loaded on our flat car. Then passengers and trees will be returned to the station. Once the train arrives back at the station, our crew will unload the trees from our flat car and place them so you can take them to your vehicle.

Please note that the tree cost is an additional cost. Christmas trees are priced individually and sold by a vendor. Prices will vary according to the size and variety of trees. Wreaths and potted trees will also be available. Cash and credit cards are accepted.
