All aboard: Holiday Train Show pulls into Grand Central Terminal

Hop aboard and come see the Holiday Train Show at Grand Central Terminal now through Feb. 26.

The 15th annual display features iconic holiday images of a model train whirring by as it circles the base of a brightly-lit tree, evoking feelings of warmth and wonder in children and adults alike.

To the delight of all, Lionel trains will journey along a 34-foot long, two-level, “O” gauge model train layout, departing from a miniature replica of Grand Central Terminal on its way to the North Pole. This year’s exhibit showcases Lionel’s Grand Central Express, Metro-North, Pennsylvania Flyer, Polar Express, and vintage subway train sets against a backdrop designed for the museum’s 40th anniversary.

Holiday Train Show, weekdays now through Feb. 26, Monday to Friday, 8 am to 8 pm; Saturday and Sunday 10 am to 6 pm. Free with museum admission.
