There will be no 78th run of the Santa Train in 2020. Sponsors still committed on the train returning after pandemic eases. Toys and trinkets will be distributed at grocery stores in the region instead. I guess you can blame the politicization of facemasks for this and the likelihood that the recipients gathering trackside would probably not be too keen on wearing them.

Lots of "traditions" have taken hits this year due to Covid,at least CSX tried a covid safe alt at local Grocery chain.
