Little River Railroad offers a fun and nostalgic steam locomotive experience. The train features themed rides, including a Christmas train with Santa Claus. Riders can walk throughout the train cars. The ride is not very long but is a great and cool experience for families. The depot includes a museum with railroad artifacts, detailed model trains, and plenty of souvenirs and merchandise. There is also a small concessions area. Tickets sell out fast, so order early. Located in Coldwater, Michigan, it is a favorite train ride that many recommend and can't wait to do again.
We rented a caboose again. I have autistic grandson who loves trains. It’s better for him with us having our own train car. So fun!!!

We thought we would see more Christmas lights, on the ride.

Step back in time to ride this vintage train. Everyone is very courteous and friendly. Train crew very knowledgeable about the history of the railroad. This is a must see experience for all ages.
