Holiday train ride with Santa Claus and his elves behind a historic steam locomotive; heated vintage rail cars run along the Willamette River from the Oregon Rail Heritage Center. Admission to the Center (gift shop, cocoa and cookies, exhibits) is included with the train ticket. Departures run 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM in daytime and early-dusk slots (not every slot every day). Arrive at least 20 minutes early to check in. A Portland tradition since 2005.
