NEW YEAR'S TRAIN!
Celebrate the ringing in of the New Year by riding Rail
of Lights New Year's Train in Jefferson, Texas. The
unforgettable ride on an old-fashioned steam train
departs New Year's weekend, December 28-31, Friday
through Monday nights. Passengers will be awed by the
lights along the Cypress Bayou River as they hear the
tale of New Year's traditions, customs and
superstitions.
We've transformed our traditional Christmas Train to celebrate
the coming of the New Year. Each of the eight trains
throughout the weekend will feature a simulation of the
New Year's Eve Ball dropping in Time Square at midnight
followed by a fantastic fire works show.
Hear about the unique customs across the United States,
including stories of the Hakahiki Hawaiian New Year; the
Good Luck Dragon in Oriental, North Carolina;
Christkindl Market in Akron, Ohio; the Live Toy Soldier
drum and light show in Bellevue, Washington; and Bourbon
Street in New Orleans.
Children and adults alike will be awed by the decorated
historic railroad depot and the decorated scenes along
the track. The wonderful narrated tour will also give
our patrons an opportunity to sing some of their
favorite New Year's songs as they discover the joys of
more than 250,000 lights along the river.
Ticket Prices: First Class All Seats $12; Coach Class: Adults
$10; Children and seniors (3-12 and 62+) $8. Lap

beautiful historic enclosed coach. If you are riding
Coach Class, be sure to dress warmly and bring a blanket
as you will be riding in open cars. Seating is limited

Jefferson is nestled deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas and seems
frozen in time. It is a charming town and an elegant
reminder of a bygone era. The downtown area will be
aglow with lights and greenery during the holiday
season. There are over a hundred buildings in the city
with historical markers. Nearly sixty historic homes
and buildings offer bed and breakfast accommodations.
