City Park Train Layout

Among many other attractions, City Park in New Orleans offers a large toy train layout, located within the botanical gardens. It is staffed and run by train set hobbyists and features several endless train track loops, complete with miniature New Orleans style buildings and landmarks. 

It is fun to walk around the huge landscaped layout and watch the several kinds of trains make the rounds, over the bridges, through the tunnels, and across the varied terrain. There is even a St. Charles Ave streetcar and moves back and forth on a special route. Here are some photographs. Click on them to make them larger.
