Santa Train at the North Alabama Railroad Museum (Dec 12)

The North Alabama Railroad Museum's second and final Santa Train day of 2026 is Saturday, December 12. Daytime trains leave the Chase Depot, 694 Chase Road NE, at 12 pm, 1:30 pm and 3 pm.

Per the museum, the train is decorated inside and out, children can talk with Santa on board and have their picture made with him, and the youngsters get a treat before they leave. The museum's Christmas train guide also lists a present for children 12 and under, with a larger one plus a treat and a drink for First Class riders.

The museum lists regular seats at $20 and First Class at $30, and every rider of any age needs a ticket. It says the Christmas trains sell out very early, so book through the museum's schedule page.
