That facebook page requires a signup, which I refuse to do.

Got the details handy?

Ok, here goes: Coming this December
"The North Pole Express"
At the St. Paul Union Depot
Featuring the Milwaukee Road Steam Locomotive 261

Celebrate the Holiday Season at the St. Paul Union Depot this December with a ride behind Milwaukee Road steam locomotive No. 261 to the North Pole! No. 261 will pull short trips around the depot grounds, where children can disembark, visit with Santa Claus, and hear stories of the Holiday season.

See the beautifully restored St. Paul Union Depot, as No. 261 becomes the first steam locomotive to pull a passenger train at the depot since Burlington Route steam excursions of the early 1960s. It's a perfect way to celebrate the Holiday's! 

Trip's will operate Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, December 4-5-6 and December 12-13-14. More days may be added later.
