A two-hour holiday train ride from Leadville through snowy forest, in heated cars with assigned seats and restrooms on board. Along the way, Santa comes on board at Santa's Mountain Outpost to greet guests and take photos.
Holiday Express seats are in the lounge cars, “fully enclosed and heated when appropriate,” or the 1007 coach: “Our 1007 coach is fully enclosed and heated.”
The open-air cars are optional: “Coats hats and Jackets are suggested for folks wanting to venture into the open cars.”
In the lounge cars, “Guests may be sat with other parties to accommodate space for all guests.” In the 1007 coach, “seats are assigned by staff before your trip.”
“we have five restrooms available on board, including one that is handicap accessible.”
“QUICK DETAILS: ALL AGES, 2 HOURS.”
“Listen to the captivating history from our conductor.” The train rides behind a historic diesel locomotive.
If sharing a table with another family would be hard, ask about the 1007 coach car when you book. Staff assign its seats ahead of time, in groups of four that face each other or in rows that face the downhill side of the train, and there's no table service in it.
