The Pennsy Express is Greenfield Parks and Recreation’s holiday ride night at the Rails in Depot Street Park, named for the Pennsy Trail that runs past the park.
In past seasons the rides rolled down the Pennsy Trail and through downtown Greenfield, with festive activities in the park for families waiting their turn. Rides have sold out before, so check the parks department for tickets early.
Parent tip: Ride spots go fast. Ask Greenfield Parks when tickets open, and plan on enjoying the park activities even if the rides fill up.

A story for the drive home
A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
