Kansas City Southern Holiday Express
Statewide Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Looking strikingly like another friendly train popular among the kiddos, the Kansas City Southern's Holiday Express returns to the South for the first time since before the pandemic—making stops across the state, bringing some Christmas cheer to good little boys and girls. The decked out six-car train will arrive in the following locations on the following dates at 4 pm each day; kids can climb aboard and visit with Santa, who will be passing out goodies. The train includes smiling tank car “Rudy”; a flatcar carrying Santa’s sleigh, reindeer, and a miniature village; a gingerbread boxcar; the elves’ workshop; the reindeer stable; and a little red caboose.
