Working on THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride is unlike anything you will ever do. This immersive experience is entirely unique to Rail Events Productions. The challenge of producing a full-length production on a moving train is one of the most rewarding experiences as an artist or technician. With a total cast, crew and front-of-house employees of 60-75 people onsite every day and the possibility of over 2,000 guests, our days can be chaotic. With such a fast-paced environment, the team at Rail Events Productions takes care to properly support and teach everyone the best ways to accomplish their jobs. We strive to build a space where employees are safe and encouraged to grow throughout their time with the company.
