Special train rides for kids with compromised immune systems

The Nevada State Railroad Museum in Carson City is offering special train rides for children battling cancer or who have compromised immune systems.

Santa’s Pajama Express will be Saturday, Dec. 14, and Sunday, Dec. 15, at 4 p.m. The rides are free.

Before these free rides, train cars are cleaned and sanitized by train crew members. The children and their families board at 3:45 p.m. Only children with compromised immune systems and their families are on these trains.

As the train travels around the railroad museum’s on-site track, it will stop to pick up a special guest – Santa – who brings gifts to the children.
