The Holiday Express chugs through the Greater Boston communities of Malden, Melrose, and Reading on the seven cars of the MBTA Commuter Rail’s Haverhill line.
Over 2,000 children and their parents will board the train and embark on a one hour magical journey to the North Pole. During which, there will be many fun-filled activities for the kids, with guest celebrity readers reading The Polar Express a children’s holiday classic by Chris Van Allsburg.
Special guests on the train include several favorite children’s characters, including Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, Winnie the Pooh, Elmo, and Dora the Explorer in addition to the BIG MAN from the North Pole.
