A Holiday Favorite: Loblolly Model Train Display

Date:

Great things are happening at the Nacogdoches Railroad Depot this holiday season!
Back by popular demand for the 6th year, the City of Nacogdoches Historic Sites Department is proud to host the Loblolly Model Train Display, which started the Friday after Thanksgiving.
The Loblolly Model Train Display will be open for public viewing at the historic Nacogdoches Railroad Depot for three weekends this holiday season beginning Friday, November 25th.
The display has been a huge success in the past, drawing in over 200 people per weekend, and we are ecstatic to have them back again. The Loblolly Model Train display is a very unique one; not only is it billed as the only traveling 3-rail, O-gauge, railroad display between Shreveport, Dallas and Houston, they are also one of the only groups that chose to have their display at table top height with no ropes. This encourages youngsters to get up close and experience the fun and excitement of toy trains.
Their schedule is: November 25th – 27th, December 2nd – 4th, and December 9th – 11th. The Depot will be open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. for all to enjoy.
