The Mt. Rainier Railroad gets festive through the end of December with the addition of its Polar Express steam engine trip. The seasonal ride features a visit from Santa, hot chocolate and cookies, and a reading of the classic Chris Van Allsburg book. Mt. Rainier Railroad runs its scenic train trips from Elbe, Washington, through the evergreen forest and across the Upper Nisqually River.
