Nickel Plate Express

The Nickel Plate Express in Noblesville, Indiana, offers scenic excursion train rides along the historic Nickel Plate Road corridor through Hamilton County, departing from the beautifully restored Noblesville Depot on the White River. Operated by the nonprofit Hamilton County Historical Society, the railroad runs a fleet of vintage passenger coaches behind diesel locomotives on a variety of themed excursions throughout the year, including the popular Dinner Train, Wine Train, and family-friendly holiday rides. The Nickel Plate Road was once renowned for its fast, reliable service between Chicago, Cleveland, and Buffalo, and the Noblesville segment preserves that heritage in a scenic Indiana setting. Excursions operate on select weekends year-round with a packed calendar of seasonal events.
