The V & T Candy Cane Express Train
All aboard the holiday train! The Virginia & Truckee Railroad will host three week-ends of enchanted holiday trains aboard one-hundred-year old decorated vintage rail coaches, November 25, 26, December 3, 4, 10, and 11. Trains depart from the F Street Station, Virginia City, NV, at 12 noon and 2pm.
Savor hot chocolate and warm apple cider while enjoying festive holiday cookies and listening to the 1832 T’was
The Night Before Christmas holiday narrative.
The North Pole “Candy Cane Sisters” will record children’s wishes for Santa deliveries, with special North Pole sing-a-longs that delight both the young and young-at-heart during the 50-minute ride though Nevada’s high desert wonderland.
The day includes a visit to Virginia City’s original Virginia and Truckee train depot and museum for an opportunity to “Step Back in Time.” The magnificent 1870 train depot remains a tribute to the glory days of the “richest place
on earth.”
“Dear Santa” postcards will be distributed on all trains and can be posted for special delivery to the North Pole daily at the depot.
This holiday experience is appropriate for all ages, young and old, and a joyful addition to your holiday
season. Wear warm clothes and don’t forget a camera for precious holiday photos that will perhaps include a wild
horse or two.
Departures leave promptly from the F Street Station, Virginia City, NV, at 12 noon and 2 pm. Please arrive fifteen (15) minutes prior to designated train departure time.
