Whether you're a kid, a kid at heart, or just a true train lover, these holiday engines will transport you through the enchanting Indiana scenery for a guaranteed good time.

Coal isn't so bad for the holidays if it speeds you through the snowy countryside. Just kidding - the locomotive at Nickel Plate Express that speeds along your seasonal spirit is a diesel-powered slice of history, built in 1956 by the Erie Mining Company. But riding in it may remind you of the glory days of train travel and you may feel some of the same excitement travelers used to.

There are two Christmas train ride options with the Nickel Plate Express, Holiday Cheers and Reindeer Express. Reindeer Express is fun for the whole family, featuring cups of warm hot chocolate, a visit from Santa, and rousing choruses of Christmas carols. Holiday Cheers is the adult-only train ride with an emphasis on festive cocktails.

The Christmas Caboose (aka The Reindeer Express) is a freight ride for the whole family. This 35-minute excursion to Santa's North Pole includes cookies and carols for happy kids. And, of course, Santa himself.

If you're looking to make merry in a more mature manner, that's where the Holiday Cheers train ride on the Nickel Plate Express comes in. It's perfect for a romantic holiday rendezvous. At Holiday Cheers, you'll enjoy an hour-and-a-half trip from Noblesville to Cicero that lets you raise a glass of wine along with your holiday spirits.

From now on, when you're dreaming of sugar plums, tinsel, trees, strings of lights, and unique gifts, don't forget the trains. Put the locomotive ride on the Nickel Plate Express on your winter's wishlist and remember to be good. Santa's keeping track; you can ask him yourself on the Reindeer Express.
