Woodbridge Santa Train Information

VRE is pleased to announce the Annual Operation Lifesaver Santa Trains. We want everyone in the Metropolitan area to be conscientious of rail safety and to promote the "Look, Listen and Live" campaign.

This year, VRE is continuing another holiday favorite. As part of the festivities, during the morning of Santa Trains our Woodbridge station will become drop off site for the Marine Corps Toys for Tots Campaign. We are encouraging everyone to bring a toy to the Santa Trains that will be shared with someone less fortunate in the Virginia area. (Yes, we will still be holding our annual on board toy drive December 9th).
