A cousin sent me a link to a PBS show “Treasures of New York” featuring a look at the annual Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Garden. The PBS show is from 2013 , but it’s an annual tradition and every year is different.

The episode, hosted by Juju Chang showed how the event features classic landmarks from around New York City sculpted from botanical materials and fantastic bridges. Large G scale trains roam overhead and through the lush vegetation. There’s a look at how the materials for the show are made by incredibly talented people, and what it takes to set it up and keep it running. It’s 30 minutes of holiday viewing pleasure.

If you happen to be in the New York City area, here’s the link to the 2023 train show event at the NYBC. It’s running through January 15, from 10am to 6pm. There are several pricing levels and pricing plans.

New York City’s Most Beloved Holiday Tradition Is Back! The Holiday Train Show returns bigger than ever with more trains and an all-new, outdoor train display. Start on the lawn to capture your perfect holiday photos at our outdoor mountainscapes and then watch trains zip past nearly 200 iconic New York landmarks under the warmth of the Conservatory. After dark, join us for NYBG GLOW and discover the beauty of our landscape and historic buildings, illuminated across the grounds. And don’t miss the return of our fan-favorite Bar Car Nights, 21-and-over evenings featuring the Holiday Train Show and curated cocktails. These special evenings feature music, experiences, food, and more—making for the ultimate night out this season.

Here’s a sampler from this year’s show:
