Train rides are set to return to Forest Park on April 3 as the Nickel Plate Express kicks off the 2021 season with Easter caboose excursions.
Easter Express tickets are available April 3 and April 4, offering families a chance to meet the Easter bunny and hunt for eggs as part of their ride experience. Caboose rides take passengers through northern Noblesville and over the White River.
Caboose rides boasting various themes will continue through June and are hosted in a 1950s red Monon caboose. The Easter Express marks the first event Nickel Plate Express has hosted since the Halloween experience in 2020.
“Our Nickel Plate Express crew is thrilled to welcome passengers back to the rails,” said Dagny Zupin, executive director of the Nickel Plate Express. “I encourage those staying in Hamilton County for a safe spring break staycation to book a caboose ride and take a ride back in time aboard he Nickel Plate Express.”
Caboose rides board out of Forest Park every Saturday and Sunday and masks are required for those over seven years of age. Windows and doors of the caboose remain open to allow for optimal air circulation. Tickets are available online at NickelPlateExpress.com.
