Night Trains at Bandana Square

It's been a busy day with family, so here are some photos from the Night Trains at the Twin Cities Model Railroad Museum. Each holiday season, from November to February, they decorate their many layouts for Christmas and turn on the lights.

It's open on Saturday evenings from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. through February 24 at Bandana Square in Saint Paul.

The grain elevators of Minneapolis (and the Grain Belt billboard) with the North Coast Limited sign floating above like a full moon. The brick buildings at right (with arched windows) are models of the train barns that are now Bandana Square, home to the train museum.
