Get ready for a historic holiday treat this December!
This December, take a step inside the B&O No. 4500 “Mikado,” a locomotive steeped in both historical significance and festive cheer.
Shortly after the nationalization of railroads during World War I, the No. 4500 “Mikado” emerged as a pioneer. It was the inaugural locomotive crafted according to the stringent standards set by the United States Railroad Administration (USRA), setting a benchmark for excellence in locomotive construction.
But that’s not all — the Mikado doesn’t just shine with historical importance. During the holiday season, it undergoes a magical transformation, becoming the beloved Polar Express! Decked out in festive decorations and brimming with seasonal cheer, the Mikado comes alive to whisk passengers away on a magical journey to the North Pole.
Join us this December to climb aboard the B&O No. 4500 “Mikado”!
