Overview

The Polar Express train ride in downtown St. Louis has become a beloved holiday tradition for thousands of families. The ride begins in a large heated tent adjacent to St. Louis’s Union Station. The tent serves as a waiting area, so housing merchandise like themed snow globes, it is vital this structure stays at a comfortable, consistent temperature around the clock. The new natural gas units provide ample heating capacity for the space while reducing fuel costs by 75%.

Green2Go Rental Power designed and installed a natural gas heating system, purpose-built to meet Union Station's needs. Working closely with the building owner, contractors, municipal officials and natural gas utility, they overcame complicating factors to implement a reliable, cost-effective heating plan.

The 75% reduced fuel savings on natural gas nearly paid for the full system changeover costs over the first event duration. With no need for complex middle-of-the-night diesel replenishment, the cleaner, quieter units also create a more comfortable guest experience.

"It was so good to see this customer make the switch from diesel to natural gas heat and we were honored to help walk them through it. It's a huge reduction in environmental impact and a great way for the client to save money without compromising the guest experience."

Smart Fuel Solutions for Winterfest

Midwest winters are notoriously unpredictable, 60 degrees one day, subzero the next. For a large-scale outdoor event like Winterfest, reliable heat isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s mission-critical.

Introducing Event Tiger: A Smarter Way to Connect Producers and Vendors

One of the biggest challenges we see in event production is that the power producers' requests often don’t align with what vendors actually need, largely due to a limited understanding of how temporary electrical grids work. We've seen it happen countless times. When expectations are misaligned, crews are forced into reactive mode: building adapters on-site and bringing additional equipment. These last-minute fixes create unnecessary stress, time lost, and increased costs for everyone involved, and most of the time, they’re completely avoidable.
