Don your favorite engineer’s hat and visit the fourth annual Rotary model train display, available for viewing during the holiday season at the Amtrak train station at 840 Second Street in downtown Davis (southeast corner of the station).
Sponsored by the Davis Sunrise Rotary Club and the Davis Model Train Club, admission is free. Any donations received will be directed to local charitable programs.*
The model train display will be open on Saturdays, November 23 through December 28.
The display hours will be 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on all dates, and features four layouts (Lionel O, two HO, and N gauges) with interactive components for kids of all ages as well as examples and
history of local Davis points of interest.
Live outside Davis and looking for something special to do with the kids and grandkids?
Consider hopping on Amtrak and taking the big train to Davis to see the small trains at the display. While here, discover the small-town charm of downtown Davis and visit the award winning Farmers Market.
