Nickel Plate Express is bringing the holiday spirit to Forest Park with the Christmas Caboose, beginning Nov. 14.
Nickel Plate Express is offering the Christmas Caboose as a smaller and safer alternative to the popular Reindeer Ride, which will return in November 2021. The holiday experience will host approximately 25 passengers per ride, allowing for social distancing and minimized contact.
The Christmas Caboose, sponsored by Noblesville’s Harbour Market on Hague Road, will allow passengers to enjoy a festive 35-minute ride through Hamilton County. While on board passengers will hear a holiday story, enjoy cookies and cocoa, and visit with Santa from a distance.

“The holidays are a special time for all, and that is certainly true here at Nickel Plate Express,” Nickel Plate Express Executive Director Dagny Zupin said. “Our team has worked hard the past several months to create an experience that ensures families feel comfortable experiencing this special holiday tradition during what has been a challenging time. Now, more than ever, it’s important for families to unplug and share a little joy together. We hope you choose to do it on board the Christmas Caboose!”
The Christmas Caboose is sanitized between each trip and masks are required for all employees, as well as all passengers ages eight and up. Tickets and additional information about the holiday event can be found at NickelPlateExpress.com/Christmas-caboose.
“As a locally-owned market serving families in Noblesville and northern Hamilton County, Harbour Market has been on the frontlines during the pandemic,” said Brett Morrow, Harbour Market owner and founder. “We wanted to give back to the communities that have supported us by increasing little holiday cheer. We are excited to support the Nickel Plate Express and ensure that the Noblesville community doesn’t miss out on this historic and magical experience.”
