The fun begins at the lighted Campo Depot. Pick up your tickets from the Ticket Agent in our restored passenger waiting room. We recommend you plan on arriving at the Campo Depot at least 45 minutes before your train departs to allow ample time to park, get your tickets, and pass through our gift shop. Don't forget to stop by the Hobo Camp next to the Depot to hear tales from railroading's past.

Once onboard the North Pole Limited, Santa's elves will sing of our favorite Christmas carols, read The Night Before Christmas to all of our young ones, and pass out cookies and hot chocolate to all passengers. The North Pole Limited will stop at Santa's Workshop to pick up Santa and Mrs. Claus who will visit with all passengers on the train on our way back to the Campo Depot.

Seating Choices and Fares

The North Pole Limited has two main classes of tickets, Coach and First Class. Passengers riding in Coach Class will enjoy the North Pole Limited from one of our restored 1920s vintage commuter cars. These seats are most numerous and lowest priced. Passengers riding in Coach Class will enjoy all of the above activities as we head to the North Pole.
