High Demand for Premier Rail Collection's 2016 THE POLAR EXPRESS Train Rides

Premier Rail Collection, the nation’s leader in special rail events, has launched ticket sales for its 2016 THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride, departing for the North Pole from eight U.S.  locations this holiday season. Reservations have gotten off to an excellent start and many dates and classes of service are already sold out.  Based on this demand, the Premier Rail Collection has added additional seats in all classes of service at each of its THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride locations.  This new availability gives Polar fans the opportunity to book their preferred dates now while availability lasts. 

“We are delighted in the response to our Polar Express events and pleased to provide more seats this week to our guests, many who make our Polar events an annual tradition with family and friends,” said Angela Lane, Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

Running select days Nov. 12-Dec. 28, 2016, families are whisked away on an unforgettable one-hour story-book journey complete with hot chocolate, dancing chefs and whimsical elves.  Santa boards the train at the North Pole and visits with each child to deliver the first gift of Christmas- the iconic silver bell said to only be heard by those that truly “believe.” In addition, family getaway holiday packages are available at select railroads, pairing THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride tickets with hotel accommodations for a weekend getaway or mid-week escape.
