Photo Gallery: Santa Comes To Town

The big man in red and his friends arrived via train.

Santa's Holiday Toy Express, a 450-ton train, came rolling into town Saturday night for a visit with Moorpark families.

Mr. Claus and his friends performed a musical skit atop the festive Metrolink train, which was decorated with more than 50,000 lights.

Now in its 15th year, the train visits Metrolink stops throughout Southern California through the holiday season and serves as a toy drive for the Southland Firefighters' Spark of Love campaign.

In Moorpark, vendors also sold their goods and carolers entertained the crowd at a small boutique before the train arrival.

Santa will make one final stop before heading back to the North Pole this year. He will arrive at the Simi Valley station tonight at 6:45 p.m.
