Holiday Train Show @GRANDCENTRALSTATION

Celebrating its 21st year of operation, the New York Transit Museum’s Grand Central Gallery  welcomes back its annual Holiday Train Show, a cherished tradition that captures the magic of miniature trains and New York City during the holidays. Lionel model trains, including Metro-North, the whimsical Polar Express, and vintage subway sets, travel a 34-foot, two-level “O” gauge layout that begins at a miniature Grand Central Terminal and winds past New York landmarks on the way to the North Pole.

To mark the 40th anniversary of MTA Arts & Design, the 2025 display features work by artists James Yang and Erin K. Robinson, whose bold illustrations bring a fresh creative spark to this beloved holiday tradition.

The show opens on Thursday, Nov. 13, and runs through February 2026.

Open 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday; closed on major holidays.
