Hoppy's Little Express train makes its way past the Coonskin Park clubhouse loaded with passengers to see the Christmas lights set up throughout the park during the third annual Christmas at Coonskin tree lighting ceremony on Dec. 3, 2024. Hundreds of people stood in line for a train ride, "The train ride line is longer than the Santa Claus line and that's saying something," Kanawha County Commission President Lance Wheeler said at the event. "It's nice to have something closer to eastern Kanawha County."
