About the Marshfield Polar Express

The Polar Express will come to life on the Kingston commuter rail as the train makes its magical round trip journey to the North Pole.  Passengers will be able to read along to The Polar Express story with Mrs. Claus and enjoy caroling, hot chocolate and cookies baked by Santa’s elves. Children will be able to meet Santa Claus and write their Christmas wishes on Santa’s scroll.  Every child will receive a special gift from Santa, so they may always believe.  Children are encouraged to wear their pajamas.

The Polar Express travels from the Kingston commuter rail to the Halifax station and back.

The Polar Express - $34.99 Directed by Robert Zemeckis and based on children's author Chris Van Allsburg's modern holiday classic of the same name, The Polar Express revolves around Billy (Hayden McFarland), who longs to believe in Santa Claus but finds it quite difficult to do so, what with his family's dogged insistence that all of it, from the North Pole, to the elves, to the man himself, is all just a myth. This all changes, however, on Christmas Eve, when a mysterious train visits Billy in the middle of the night, promising to take him and a group of other lucky children to the North Pole for a visit with Santa. The train's conductor (Tom Hanks) along with the other passengers help turn Billy's crisis in faith into a journey of self-discovery. A long-time fan of Van Allsburg's book, Hanks also helped produce the film. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi
