Christmas Tree Train
November 27, 2021 • 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Begin a family tradition with this new excursion offering from the North Shore Scenic Railroad. Travel up the North Shore to the small village of Knife River, where fresh cut North Shore Christmas Tees await, from our friends at Northern Connection. Pick your favorite, have it bailed and loaded onto the train for you while you enjoy live music, and the holiday atmosphere at the newly restored Knife River Depot.
When you return to the Depot, drive your car right up to the side of the train, and have our handy helpers load it onto your roof for you to take home. Trees and wreaths can be purchased along with your tickets, or in person when you arrive at Knife River.
Schedule for the Train:
9:00am – Depart Duluth Depot
10:30am – Arrive Knife River
Deboard the train and pick out a tree, wreath, or just enjoy the holiday cheer at this charming location along the rail line.
Trees are bailed and loaded onto a flatcar on the train, while you board the warm coaches.
