Holiday Tradition Returns: Pacific Southern Railway to Host 47th Annual Train Show in Rocky Hill

ROCKY HILL, NJ — A longtime local holiday tradition is preparing to roll back into Rocky Hill this November, bringing model trains, family activities and a charitable mission together for two days of festivities.

The Pacific Southern Railway will host its 47th Annual Holiday Show on Saturday, Nov. 21, and Sunday, Nov. 22, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., inviting families, railroad enthusiasts and curious visitors inside its expansive model railway museum. The event will center around tours of the 5,000-square-foot Pacific Southern Railway train museum, where multiple model train layouts will operate throughout the property. Organizers describe Pacific Southern Railway as one of the country’s longest-running nonprofit model railroads. The annual show has grown into more than a destination for train enthusiasts, with organizers planning a full slate of family-friendly activities throughout the weekend. Visitors can expect balloon animals, hot chocolate, a food truck and a working R2-D2, along with multiple train displays running during the event.
