Train of Lights Niles Canyon Railway — Attraction in Fremont

The train of lights is a historical, magic event to enjoy with your family. Years ago I tried to participate but I couldn't get tickets on time, I didn't know how. This was my third year able to buy tickets. How I do it? This year in October 13th, the tickets sale started at 10am. I work on Saturdays but at 10 am I told my customers to wait few minutes to make my reservation and buy the tickets (there are thousand of people in front of the computer buying too) Why the high demand for this event? There are so many tourists coming, people from many Countries. As I said, it's a magical ride. The workers are so friendly and caring specially with disabled people (I saw it) they are patient but they are old too, they need helpers, volunteers. I'm afraid this event would stop one day if we don't support them. Children enjoy it so much! I wish I knew about people looking for tickets, since I had two extra ones. If someone needs help getting tickets just ask. It will be a big mistake to stop trying just because it's difficult to get tickets. Let's keep our Christmas...

We went twice this season. Once in the dome car and once in the parlor car. Both experiences were great!! The VOLUNTEERS ARE AWESOME !!! what a great group of people to give their time to this wonderful train ride experience. THANK YOU ALL!!!! We had hot cider with brandy, great cookies , and the decorations are fabulous. ONE VOLUNTEER LADY made all of the Xmas reefs that are throughout the train cars — just beautiful. The dome car was spectacular .. a link to the past where celebrities boarded this car in the 1950s hay day … It is a must do. There is one family that had the mother father and son volunteering throughout the years. It was my favorite experience of the Xmas season. I may have to volunteer myself next year just to be a part of something so great. KUDOS TO THE NILES RAILWAY FAMILY!! Have a wonderful 2022!! I look forward to...

Christmas Train of light must not be missed. Each compartment is decorated with different Xmas decors, during the 1.5 hour ride you can walk around to different carts & take pictures. Yes, Santa does visit every train compartment for pictures. Make sure to dress warmly & take extra pair of coat/jacket, it does get cold. Definitely recommend to dress festive. Tickets do sell out fast, with option of 4 tickets per transaction. You can bring your own food, snacks and drinks. Hot chocolate & cookies are served on board,...
