The Big Fork Scenic Railway has been turned into the Polar Express.

Something that makes this Polar Express different from others you see in other parts of the country is the actors and actresses. The volunteers are almost entirely made up of students in elementary, middle, and high school.

While student actors spend several months to prepare, it is a  community-wide event that helps pull everyone together each year.

The coach seat tickets are $40 and the first-class tickets are $55.
