The Santa Train came to Bloomfield on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 11 a.m. This year, a free ticket was required to step aboard the train and visit Santa and Mrs. Claus in order to keep the train on schedule. The Santa Train made several stops in Greene County on Saturday including in Linton, Solsberry, Jasonville and Dugger.
