The Sacramento RiverTrain is launching the 20th season of the Christmas Train on the Woodland – West Sacramento Branch.  The trips begin Saturday November 24th and run through December 30th.  The popular Christmas Train offers a total of 50 trips and tickets are still available.

“This year will be amazing,” commented Elf Shelle.  “Instead of just reading the story of Morgan & the Magical Christmas Train we bring the story to life with a fun show aboard the train!”  The new show features the little girl Morgan, the Conductor, elves, a playful Teddy Bear that comes to life, and Santa Claus. The story is about a little girl on a magical train trip with a teddy bear that comes to life.  Along the way she learns about the spirit of Christmas.  The show is interactive and should be fun for both children and adults.

WOODLAND, CA - On Friday October 19, News10 followed along with the paranormal investigation team at California Haunts to seek out evidence of the afterlife at the Woodland Opera House.

The Opera House, wedged between Main St. and Dead Cat Alley, was rebuilt after a massive fire destroyed the original structure, as well much of what is now Historic Woodland in July 1892.

William Porter, a volunteer firefighter in woodland was one of the many who responded to the massive blaze. Unfortunately for Porter, he was dowsing the flames at the original Woodland Opera House when the building crumbled on top of him, killing him in the process. Ever since, Porter's presence has been seen, felt, and even smelled in the building when random odors of smoke arise, then fade away just as quickly.
