The train departs promptly from King Street Station in Alexandria, VA at 1:30 PM and includes round trip travel to Old Town Manassas, returning at 4:30 PM the day of the event.
When we arrive in Manassas we leave the train for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. During that time we will be serving hot chocolate, cookies, and water. Hooray for Books will have a store time in the station and Santa will hold a Q&A session on the station platform.
