Well, as if by Christmas magic, over the holidays the train is transformed into...The Holiday Express!

The South Dakota Christmas Train

Yes, you can take a magical ride all the way from South Dakota to the North Pole! Santa even rides along! Don't forget the hot cocoa and sugar cookie.

It's our own little Polar Express, except without the disturbing animation.

What, you don't believe you really go to the North Pole? Well let me ask you, do you believe in Santa Claus? If you do, then yes, you go to the North Pole. If you don't...bah humbug!

The hour-long round trips are available through December. The ride starts in Hill City, South Dakota, and chugs to the North Pole, in this case, the historic ghost town Oblivion, South Dakota
