Step into a rolling sleigh of holiday wonder as Santa Claus returns to Northeast Indiana, Southeastern Michigan, and Western Ohio aboard the Cameron Christmas Train. Arriving the week before Thanksgiving, this luminous little train carried more than gifts — it carried a century-old tradition of railroads reaching into their communities with generosity and joy.
Powered by Cameron Health — with support from Cardinal Glass, the Hillsdale Meijer store, South Milford Grain, and Hillsdale College — the train was operated through the combined efforts of the Indiana Northeastern Railroad, the Fort Wayne Railroad, and the Little River Railroad.
On Saturday, the spectacle grew even brighter as Little River’s beloved steam locomotive No. 110 took the lead as a live-steam gift wrapped in wonder. Over three evenings, Santa’s journey stretched from Edon to South Milford, from Pleasant Lake to Reading, and from Hillsdale to Coldwater. At each stop, families gathered along the tracks to watch the train arrive and as Santa and his helpers stepped down to hand out gifts.
The Cameron Christmas Train rolls in like a carol made of steel and light — kindness humming in its wheels, joy drifting from its stack, reminding every town along the line that wonder still keeps a timetable and Santa still arrives by rail.
