WE ENDED OUR 2025 OPERATING SEASON WITH THE ANNUAL SANTA TRAIN
Santa Arrives
Every year since 2000 we've ended our season with the annual Santa Train. Only twice (an ice storm and Covid-19) were we prevented from delivering some holiday happiness to young and old alike.
Santa and Mrs Claus were transported to our museum on the platform of the restored Lehigh and Hudson River RR caboose number 18.
Santa and family
Many families have added this yearly event to their holiday traditions. Thanks go out to PRRH members Tom and Marjorie Rose for the great job they do as our Mr and Mrs Claus.
Hot Refreshments
PRRH volunteers handed out hot refreshments and cookies. We also had goody bags for our young visitors. The train ride, refreshments, cookies and gift bags are all provided free.
Thanks go out to ShopRite of Greenwich for their donation of food and Dave Beck for his donation of the wreaths.
PU Tower
In recent years we've been coordinating with the PU tower group and have scheduled our Santa Train with the Toys For Tots train. Many of our generous visitors donated toys this year.
T4T train
As our open house was nearing completion the ToysForTots train pulled into town. We transported the donated toys the tower to be combined with toys from other local organizations participating in this event.

PU Tower reports they loaded 1595 toys on the train this year!
Group photo
Before we put everything away for the winter we paused for a group photo. Thanks go out to all the volunteers who came out on a cold, hazy day to help brighten up the day for our visitors. We'd also like to thank Oren B Helbok for taking the group photo of us this year.
Check back in mid-March for our 2026 operating schedule.
