Santa was here: A Portage Flyer Christmas in photos

Santa made an early visit to Huntsville tonight (December 23), greeting passengers at the end of the Portage Flyer line at Muskoka Heritage Place. Were you there?

A Portage Flyer Christmas is a popular event with many families lining up before the first train is scheduled to leave. It's worth the wait.

It's always a thrill to watch the Portage Flyer, decked out in Christmas lights, round the final bend on its way to the end of the line...and Santa!
