Have a look back at The Week in Pictures
Mrs. Claus waves to the crowd of 200 on the Crystal Lake Pingree Rd. Metra station platform as the Operation North Pole Metra train makes a stop Saturday morning, Dec. 14. About 75 families of sick children, along with their nurses, and therapy dogs, firefighters and police officers made the round-trip ride from Des Plaines, and were greeted by more firefighters at the Crystal Lake stop. Tom "Santa" Pollnow, a retired Crystal Lake firefighter wears his traditional red uniform as he enters the train with others to hand out gifts.
