The highly anticipated return of Metrolink’s Holiday Express Train series has been a resounding success with four sold-out events already in the books. The specially ticketed, family-friendly experience is once again spreading holiday magic across Southern California, delighting passengers of all ages with its enchanting atmosphere and seasonal activities.
The five-county tour kicked off Nov. 30 at Metrolink’s Anaheim Station, with hundreds of families joining the festivities. So far in 2024, approximately 8,000 passengers have experienced the joy of the Holiday Express Train, which features themed decorations, carolers and beloved characters onboard. Attendees are also treated to community-supported welcome events at the station prior to boarding where they can enjoy engaging activities, music, balloon artists and more, and toys have been collected at each location to support families in need.
The final sold-out event will take place this Saturday, Dec. 21, at the Redlands-Downtown Station, offering one last opportunity to experience the merriment of this unique holiday tradition.
Thank you to all of the passengers, volunteers, partners and staff who have made this year’s campaign the most successful yet!
