Familyvacationist.com released a list of 10 Christmas train rides for the holiday. And Wilmington & Western Railroad made the list.

Santa Claus Express, Prices Corner  

For a twist, consider a train ride with Santa this season instead of waiting in line to tell him your wishes.  

The Wilmington & Western Railroad in Prices Corner is back this year with the Santa Claus Express, a 1½-hour round-trip to Ashland powered by either a historic first-generation diesel locomotive or an antique steam locomotive. 

During the ride, the jolly old elf will greet passengers and hand out chocolate treats to little ones. Bring your camera so you can snap some photos with Santa.
