Hello Thursday! Chelsea here.

There is something about this time of year that encourages me to develop a sudden love for trains. I attribute it to my third-grade performance of "The Polar Express". I played an elf and I had a line about hot chocolate. But clearly, the association between winter and trains stuck. So you can imagine my excitement when I realized that Ohio has some of the coolest holiday train rides in the country. Ready to hop on board?
