Santa Express train rides return to Bellows Falls

BELLOWS FALLS — Kids of all ages will get a chance to ride a Christmas Train - the Green Mountain Railroad's historic Green Mountain Flyer - with Santa and the Grinch, caroling elves, and special surprises in Bellows Falls on Nov. 20.

The historic engines and coaches, with favorite Christmas characters providing entertainment, will depart from the Bellows Falls train station at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., according to a news release.

The trip to the “North Pole” (Chester Station) is 45 to 60 minutes each way, with 45 minutes at the North Pole, where each child will meet Santa. A small ensemble of the Saxtons River Ringers will play 12-bell holiday music, and Smokin' Bowls will have soups, sandwiches, and more for purchase.
