Easter Bunny trains now operate both in Bergen County and in Morris/Passaic County! Each year the Volunteer Railroaders Association aka VRA runs several Easter Bunny Train rides. During the approximately 90 minute ride the Easter Bunny will hop through the train and visits each child, giving them a special gift from his basket. In addition to the Easter Bunny there will be other surprise characters that will also visit each child. Each child can have his or her picture taken with the Easter Bunny so they can always remember their ride, so bring your cameras.

These Easter holiday decorated train rides are pleasant family fun with the little children enjoying the most! These events combine the mystery, history and love of the American railroad and the thrill of "riding the rails" with the magic of celebrating the holidays. The main characters stroll from car to car of the trains to the surprise and delight of the children while they visit with their families.

So why not gather up the kids and grandparents and join the VRA and the Easter Bunny on these fun holiday train rides.You will not only have a great time with your family you will also be helping to preserve history for generations to come to enjoy. These trips have been very well received.
