Christmas Tree Train
Dec 1, 8, 15
8AM only
Duration: 2 hrs

West Chester Railroad is again hosting it's popular Christmas Tree train this holiday season! We have partnered with Wiggins Tree Farm in West Chester, PA. The train will depart Market St station in West Chester promptly at 8:00 AM. Once on board passengers can purchase coffee, hot chocolate, and donuts. The train will arrive at Wiggins Tree Farm where passengers will disembark to go pick and cut down your Christmas tree (hand saws will be supplied). Once you've picked that perfect tree it will be banded up, tagged, and placed on our flat car. Passengers will then board the train and be brought back to West Chester where your trees will be offloaded from the train.

Your tree is not included in the price of your ticket. Wiggins accepts only CASH or CHECK for tree purchases. Trees are $80 for all tree train ticket holders.

Please note: Santa will NOT be on board this train. He is only on board our "Santa's Express" trains. Christmas Trees are purchased separately and are priced at the discretion of Wiggins Tree Farm. West Chester Railroad will have help on hand to load trees on to your car, but it is your responsibility to make sure trees are secured for transportation.
