🎄🚂 ALL ABOARD THE 2026 COAL REGION CHRISTMAS STEAM TRAIN! 🎅

It's almost time for one of our favorite holiday traditions at Pioneer Tunnel!

Gather the family, bundle up, grab your blankets, and join us for a Christmas experience filled with holiday cheer, special surprises, and memories your family will treasure for years to come!

Climb aboard our Coal Region Christmas Steam Train, where our steam locomotive and train cars will be glowing with Christmas lights! Enjoy a festive ride through the Pioneer Tunnel grounds as the sound of the steam whistle and the excitement of the holiday season fill the air. It's a Christmas adventure the whole family can enjoy!

And keep your eyes open! You never know when a certain mischievous green character might make an appearance and stir up a little Christmas trouble! 💚

The excitement continues when the train arrives at Santa's Holiday Hideaway! 🎅🤶 Children will have the opportunity to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, share their Christmas wish, and receive a sweet treat. Don't forget your camera to capture those special Christmas moments!

Before or after your ride, stop by our Gift Shop to browse unique gifts, souvenirs, and stocking stuffers. We'll also have hot chocolate, coffee, and cookies available for purchase to help keep everyone warm and cozy!

Whether you're joining us for the first time or returning for another year of family fun, we look forward to sharing the Christmas season with you!
