A Picture’s Worth: 20 Days of the Holiday Train Show
Posted in Holiday Train Show on December 8 2011, by Matt Newman
“It was as if he shared the day with me from a distance.”
From now until December 17, our visitors will be sharing their fondest memories from 20 years of the Holiday Train Show–some of them touching, some comical, and every one of them cherished. Come back to Plant Talk each day for a new story, which you can see after the jump along with a feature on one of the many replica New York City landmarks on display in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory–the Guggenheim Museum, Yankee Stadium, the Empire State Building and more.
As a bonus, read on to find out how you can win a Family Four-Pack of Holiday Train Show tickets for yourself!
A dear friend could not attend the train show, so I went and took as many pictures of the different bridges and buildings as I could, and sent them to him with a description. It was as if he shared the day with me from a distance.
