Trains, Trains, and More Trains

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) Rail Division has a great website for special train rides scheduled around North Carolina. See http://www.bytrain.org/ for trips on Thomas the Tank, Disney's A Christmas Carol Train Ride, and rides to Carolina Panthers football games. The fall schedule is currently posted and it looks like they might have a Santa Train ride in early December. The website also has other interesting information about the rail system in North Carolina as well as games and activities for children.
