Holiday Express Train returns to San Bernardino County Dec. 21

Metrolink’s popular Holiday Express Train is returning to San Bernardino County Saturday, December 21. Holiday Express Train riders will experience the joy and magic of the season aboard a specially decorated trainset. Originating at the Redlands Downtown Metrolink Station, the first train will depart at 9:30 a.m. and with the second train departing at 12:10 p.m.

“Since its debut, the Holiday Express Train has captured the hearts of families across Southern California,” Metrolink Board Chair and City of Highland Mayor Pro Tem Larry McCallon said. “We’re thrilled to expand this year’s service, adding two additional trips due to popular demand, so that even more families can make Metrolink a part of their holiday traditions. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss.”

Each train ride will have holiday decorations, cheerful carolers, recognizable characters and festive surprises, making it a perfect event for all ages. Tickets are $25 per person, with an additional $5 option for a limited number of table seats. Children under two can ride for free on a parent’s lap. Tickets must be purchased in advance as no tickets will be sold at the event. Seating is assigned.

Guests are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy pre-boarding festivities like craft stations, balloon twisters, music and more. Attendees can also bring unwrapped toys to donate through Metrolink’s partnership with local non-profit organizations, supporting families in need during the holiday season.
