Metrolink's Holiday Toy Express Arrives in Los Angeles!

Metrolink’s Holiday Toy Express has been delighting audiences for sixteen years – providing a free, enjoyable, community-based holiday experience across six Southern California counties.
The Holiday Toy Express, a 450-ton Metrolink train decorated with giant glittering ornaments, animated displays and more than 50,000 twinkling lights, will make five stops this year in the City of Los Angeles:

Friday, November 16, 2012

• 5:45 PM Holiday Toy Express debuts at Los Angeles Union Station
• 8:15 PM at the Metrolink Station in Chatsworth

Sunday, November 25, 2012

Sunday, December 2, 2012

Arriving with lights aglow and filling the night with toe-tapping tunes, the Holiday Toy Express offers a free live musical stage show at each stop. Following the show, children of all ages have an opportunity to meet Santa and his friends when they alight from the train. Additionally, the Holiday Toy Express supports Southern California Firefighters’ Spark of Love Toy Drive – which collects and distributes toys to needy children. Audience members are encouraged to bring a new unwrapped toy or sporting good to donate to this worthy cause.

So bring your friends and family to enjoy the Holiday Toy Express, meet the men and women of LAFD and support the Spark of Love Toy Drive, all at a Metrolink Station near you!

Metrolink's Holiday Toy Express will make thirty-six additional stops across Southern California. For dates, times and locations call 1-800-371-LINK or visit metrolinktrains.com
