Marines at Camp Fallujah in Iraq will be connected via satellite to their families during Metrolink's Holiday Toy Express train stop at Camp Pendleton Saturday.

A 450-ton train decorated with more than 50,000 lights, decorations and ornaments will stop for the first time at Camp Pendleton during its 50-city tour.

For 10 years, the Toy Express has stopped at different cities to collect toys for donation.

Santa, an original holiday play, musical and toy collection for Toys for Tots will be available.
