The Kettle Valley Steam Railway will offer train rides on Nov. 25, as part of the Festival of Lights weekend.
Gerry Conrad, president of the railway香蕉视频直播檚 board of directors, said the Summerland Chamber of Commerce had approached the railway about offering the rides.
The purpose was to give visitors something additional to do on the weekend, between the 30th annual Festival of Lights on Friday evening and the Light Up the Vines events on Saturday evening.
As a result, the railway will offer train rides on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
The rides will use the enclosed coaches, not the open-air cars. Passengers will receive hot chocolate and cookies for the ride.
