For more than 40 years, families have made Santa Train at the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie a highlight of their holiday season celebration. Santa Train runs eight days, beginning Nov. 30.

Families can take a holiday train excursion aboard Santa Train to visit Santa Claus at the historic Snoqualmie Depot. The event includes music, fresh-baked cookies from coal-fired ovens, hot cocoa and coffee, and a small gift for each child.

The two-hour holiday celebration is offered on weekends from Thanksgiving through Dec. 19.

Tickets are on sale, in person at the Snoqualmie Depot, 38625 S.E. King St., by telephone at (425) 888-3030 or online at www.trainmuseum.org. There are seven hourly departures, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.. Buy tickets early, as they sell out every year.
