TasRail's chief executive officer Steven Dietrich said community interest in seeing the Christmas train had been incredibly high.
"We've had phone calls, emails, Facebook messages, you name it - everybody loves the Christmas train," he said.
"This is a fantastic community initiative and the TasRail team appreciates that the Christmas Train brings cheer to people during this very busy time of year."
