East Texas weekend activities.

It all begins with a golden ticket. Do you believe?

A holiday tradition continues in East Texas and it all begins with that special golden ticket! The golden ticket that will take your kids (and you) on a magical train ride to the North Pole aboard The Polar Express on the Texas State Railroad!

The Texas State Railroad has a trip to the North Pole waiting for you and the kids this holiday season.

There's still time to continue your holiday tradition or begin a new one aboard The Polar Express.

If you are looking for some things to do to get in the Christmas spirit, the Polar Express is kicking off soon!

The Texas State Railroad just paid off a big debt, and now they're free to move forward with plans to add another car to the Polar Express, and make other changes that you'll notice this summer.

From Halloween to Christmas to beers among the trees, Texas State Railroad has a few more themed train rides left in 2017.

All aboard! The Polar Express is departing the Palestine Depot through December 23.

When you believe, magical things can happen aboard the Polar Express!

Watching the movie starring Tom Hanks has become a holiday tradition for many of us, and it will no doubt appear on TV a few times this holiday season.  And kids can experience a very real Polar Express right here in East Texas this weekend. The Texas State Railroad will have the Polar Express running in Palestine, and kids can even wear their PJ's!
