VRE's Annual Operation Lifesaver Santa Trains


Tickets go on sale November 30th

Every year just before Christmas, kids and their parents are given the opportunity to ride a train and meet Santa and Mrs. Claus, who are on board VRE trains to promote rail safety and Operation Lifesaver’s “Look, Listen and Live” campaign. There will be plenty of Santa’s helpers joining in handing out candy canes and coloring books, along with high school choral groups and other festivity-makers.

We know it has been a long wait (as some of you have been anxious about Santa Trains since May), but information on the ever popular Operation Lifesaver Santa Trains is finally here!

Again, the event, taking place on Saturday, December 12th uses this opportunity to remind people of the importance of rail safety. So remember, that this event is not just for fun, but it also has a serious and important message: "Look, listen and live!" from Operation Lifesaver.

In addition, Operation Lifesaver Santa Trains also work in conjunction with the Marine Corps Toys for Tots. So on December 12th, our Fredericksburg, Manassas, Burke Centre, and Woodbridge stations will be drop off sites for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots Campaign. We are, therefore, encouraging everyone to bring a toy to the Santa Trains so that someone less fortunate in the Virginia area can share in the joys of the holidays.

For additional ticket information, visit the specific station pages:

Each train will be an excursion - passengers will return to the same station they begin from.
