Everything possible will be done to make this a memorable experience for every rider! The following chart shows the likely 2010 trains' departure times. The schedule is subject to change. Be sure to refresh the page (Ctrl-R) for the latest information! The Midwest Central Railroad's North Pole Express will rumble its way through Mt Pleasant, Iowa, on its annual imaginary voyage to the North Pole.
In the spirit of the season, Midwest Central Railroad extends a special invitation to you and your family to participate on this annual steam powered (by MCRR's Shay, #9) Christmas train as it carries its passengers on an imaginary Christmas journey to the North Pole. This unique holiday train made trips against a backdrop of early winter in eastern Iowa. The holiday season is a time when
families share time together and a time when traditions begin. What fun
it would be to actually experience the essence of a Christmas Steam
Train on
a magical journey. Children and adults together will
experience a
spirited holiday adventure. Our guests ride along in one of
our coaches decorated for the holidays, bound for an imaginary
trip to
the North Pole, and feel the anticipation of the meeting the
grand elf of them all...
As the Shay powered train rumbles into the station at the North Pole, midst a flurry of snowflakes and hissing steam, our own Railroad Santa, along with his special elves, will greet his guests and at this time, each guest will be presented with a special Christmas ornament to commemorate this memorable journey. Join us in 2010 on this wonderful journey to the North Pole and see if those magical moments of Christmas, makes you too, one of those that believes in the miracles of Christmas.
