Garden Railway Garden Railway Image Experience one of the Morris's most beloved traditions. The Garden Railway brings model trains to life as they weave through a vibrant outdoor landscape filled with handcrafted bridges, tunnels, and miniature worlds. Each season introduces new themes and details that bring visitors back again and again. The Garden Railway is closed for the season beginning October 1. It will reopen for Holiday Garden Railway in November.  About the Garden Railway Visitors of all ages will be wowed by a third of a mile of track featuring seven loops and tunnels with fifteen different rail lines and two cable cars, nine bridges (including a trestle bridge you can walk under!), and bustling model trains, all set in the lovely garden of the Morris Arboretum & Gardens. The display and buildings are all made of natural materials – bark, leaves, twigs, hollow logs, mosses, acorns, dried flowers, seeds and stones – to form a perfectly proportioned miniature landscape complete with miniature rivers. Each building, while an exact replica of the original, is unique in its design. Philadelphia-area landmarks such as a masterpiece replica of Independence Hall are made using pine cone seeds for shingles, acorns as finials and twigs as downspouts. Image The Garden Railway is supported, in part, through the generosity of Gwen and Ed Asplundh and by a gift given in memory of Joe Shuttleworth. “Gwen and I are very pleased to support the wonderful Garden Railway. Ever since I was a kid, I have loved trains large and small. For years, I had a large train layout in my basement. There is something very special about an outdoor railway, especially the very unusual and beautifully done railway at the Morris. I enjoy watching the trains myself, but most of all, I enjoy watching the looks of delight on the faces of the other ‘kids’ young and old.”  –Ed Asplundh Image Image Credit: Judy Miller Image Image Credit: Judy Miller Image Image Credit: Rob Cardillo Image Credit: …
