The New York Transit Museum’s Holiday Train Show is back this year - and its free for all visitors!

This holiday season, the New York Transit Museum’s Grand Central Gallery & Store plays host to a city within a city with the display of a miniature electric railroad running over, through, and beneath some of New York’s most magnificent landmarks. Returning for the first time since the Museum’s pandemic closure, this beloved holiday exhibit features Lionel model trains traveling along a 34’ long, two-level, “O” gauge model train layout. Departing from a miniature replica of Grand Central Terminal, the Transit Museum’s collection of model trains including Metro-North, Polar Express, and vintage subway train sets will dazzle the eyes of children and adults alike as they make their way past New York landmarks and on to the North Pole!

It is on view at the Grand Central Gallery through February 2024 (open daily except for Christmas Day and New Year’s Day). You can also check out the Grand Central Holiday Fair for local gifts through December 24.
