The train, operated by volunteers from the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway, will chug through sections of Bergen, Passaic and Morris Counties, collecting thousands of donated toys for the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Foundation along the way.
People are invited to visit the train when it arrives at each stop to donate toys, board the caboose to see Santa Claus, view a variety of working railroad equipment and meet members of the Marine Corps and Operation Toy Train program.
Donated toys should be new, in their original packaging, and not gift wrapped. The toys will be distributed as holiday gifts to underprivileged children in the community.
