Seating
All Seats are Individually Sold and are assigned by Mt. Hood Railroad according to your ticket type. Food is available for pre-purchase for all customer types.
- VIP passengers will ride in a comfortable booth with a table (seats 4) and receive a complimentary snack and beverage, as well as souvenir Polar Express mug.
- Premium relaxes in cozy bucket seats in groups, but there is no table (groups of 4). Premium receives a keepsake Polar Express tumbler.
- Parlor enjoys chairs and a table (seats 4).
- Standard has a booth with bench seating, but there is no table.
Note: VIP and Parlor have a table that seats 4, so if your group has fewer than 4 tickets, you might be seated with someone else to fill the table. If you want to ensure you don't share a table, please make sure the number of tickets equals a multiple of 4.
If you would like to be seated with another group, please book everyone under one reservation -- or put the first & last name of the group you want to sit with in the comment section when booking.
Wheelchairs
Parlor seating is the only option that can accommodate wheelchairs, so please select that option for pricing. Keep in mind, since this is a historical train, the width of the door is 30 inches. We have a lift, but unfortunately, we are unable to load or store electric wheelchairs. Also, wheelchairs will not fit through the bathroom doors, so please keep that in mind.
Assistance with Boarding
If anyone in your party needs a lift to board the train (such as use of walkers), please let us know in the comments when booking your reservation, so we can plan accordingly.
Pets
No Pets are allowed for health & safety reasons. Please don't put our staff in the uncomfortable situation of having to issue a $100 violation or refuse to let you board the train again after the layover in Pine Grove. It diminishes enjoyment for all involved.
Includes
Food & Beverages
Everyone receives complimentary hot cocoa and a cookie on board the train. You are also welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks -- but no alcohol. In addition, Kailea Coffee Company will have a vendor cart at the depot for purchasing beverages.
