You know how we love the Reading Terminal Holiday Railroad. It's the holiday model train display that's set up annually just up the escalator from the Gallery, and when we see it going up, we know Christmas and the holidays are really on their way. You can see photos from the last two years' displays, and read us gushing about them, here and here. This year they've brought back more of the interactive elements...

The Reading Terminal Holiday Railroad Display is up and out for viewing again, from now through the end of the year, 10AM to 6PM. You'll find it under the escalator on the ground floor of the Reading Terminal, just inside the 12th and Market entrance, above the Gallery at Market East. This year's display is not as busy, exciting, and interactive as past years' have been, but it's still festive and fun. Click the picture above for more photos of the display on Flickr.

Nothing can melt Phillyist's cold, sarcastic, postmodern blogger facade faster than a holiday model train set. There's just something about that perfect little dream world with the tiny, wonderful machines running through it that makes us all warm and nostalgic, and brings back the goofy, grinning kid in us. That's why we were excited as a little tyke on Christmas morn to find the Reading Terminal Holiday Railroad Display back again this year. If you saw last year's display (pictured above), you still need to come by and see this one, because it's completely different. This time there are two waterfalls, a tunnel, an elevated trolley, and ever so much other fun stuff!
