Enjoy a magical trip this season on The Polar Express. Inspired by the classic children's story, Amtrak is offering special holiday train rides from Chicago Union Station from Nov. 23rd to Dec. 29th. Passengers are served hot chocolate and a treat by dancing chefs, offered a reading of the book by Chris Van Allsburg, and receive the first gift of Christmas (a silver sleigh bell) after Santa boards the train to greet families. Attendants lead passengers in caroling on the return trip to Union Station. Each passenger also receives a souvenir tumbler with their hot chocolate to take home.
