The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum is pleased to announce the annual return of the Easter Trains, a popular holiday favorite for adults and children of all ages.
The events will feature an Easter Egg Hunt after each train ride, with a rush to find every candy-filled egg. More than 6,000 eggs will be distributed this year, and children in three age categories will gather them during the high-energy hunts. The child who finds the golden egg in each age category will receive a special prize.
Parents are encouraged to bring their cameras and take photos of their children with the Easter Bunny during these events. Children will receive a gift bag while aboard the train.
This year's Easter Train events will again support the Purdue Railroad Club. A portion of each ticket sold will be donated to this organization, one of the oldest student organizations at Purdue University.
Diesel Easter Trains depart from the station in North Judson on Saturdays, April 5th, 12th, and 19th, at 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. Central Time. Each trip takes passengers on a 45-minute countryside excursion, crossing the Kankakee River at English Lake before returning.
Ticket prices for coach or open-air seating are $20 for adults and $14 for children ages 3 to 15. First-class seating options in a former business car include suites for up to three people for $80 or $25 general lounge seats. Infants and toddlers under 3 are free when riding on a parent’s or guardian’s lap. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased online at hoosiervalley.org.
The Hoosier Valley Railroad Museum is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization dedicated to preserving railroad history in northwest Indiana. The museum educates the public through interpretive displays and its tourist railroad operations.
