Watch The Delaware Countryside Whirl By On This Unforgettable Christmas Train

The holiday season is approaching, and it's time to start making your family plans! One of the best seasonal adventures in the Delmarva region is the Holiday Lights Express, from Wilmington & Western Railroad. This Delaware Christmas Train is fun for kids and adults of all ages, so grab your ticket and climb aboard! Read below to see why this beloved tradition is such a delight.

Every year, the Wilmington and Western Railroad decorates its famous Doodlebug to create a magical Delaware Christmas Train!

The Holiday Lights Express runs more than 60 times back and forth throughout December, and with some planning, you can be aboard for this bright and merry trip.

The train departs from the historic Greenbank Station at either 5:00, 6:30, 7:30, or 8:00 p.m., depending on your ticket time.

The ride lasts for about an hour and takes you past beautifully decorated trackside homes as you travel through the Red Clay Valley.

Come aboard the Holiday Lights Express to get into the holiday spirit and continue a Delaware tradition.

If you want a visit with Santa, consider booking a trip on the Santa Claus Express. The big man himself is the guest of honor!

Book your tickets online and be sure to read up on all of the details of this year's Delaware Christmas Train from the Wilmington and Western Railroad! Reservations are required, and the train is running a little differently in 2020. Be sure to bundle up, because these (heated) train cars will be traveling with the windows open.
