The Long Island Rail Road is again launching its spirited Holiday Express Train following two successful, sold-out years. Make it a part of your holiday traditions and bring the whole family aboard one of the Holiday Express Trains: the first running on Saturday, December 1, 2018, from Ronkonkoma Station, and the second on Sunday, December 2, 2018, from Babylon Station. Both trains travel non-stop directly to Penn Station in Manhattan, a central location to plan a day trip around seasonal activities following the train ride.
The bi-level diesel trains will be decked out in holiday splendor, and families can take part in festive sing-along caroling. Reserve your seats for a ride you’ll never forget with on-board entertainment, giveaways and special appearances by Santa Claus and other holiday favorites.
Tickets for this year’s events go on sale Thursday, November 1, 2018, starting after 12 a.m.
More than 700 people took part in the 2016 inaugural Holiday Express ride from Ronkonkoma Station to Penn Station. Following its overwhelming success, the LIRR added a second train to its lineup in 2017, this one from Babylon to Penn Station, bringing more holiday cheer to about 1,400 people.
Reservations are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
Dates and Routes
The trains leave promptly at their scheduled times. The LIRR asks that customers arrive 45 minutes earlier than the scheduled departure times to allow enough time for boarding and to pick up tickets. Car and seat numbers are given when your reservation is filled.
