Set up continues for the Holiday Garden Railway at Morris Arboretum

It's a family affair at the Holiday Garden Railway at Morris Arboretum in Chestnut Hill. Trainmasters Josh Faia and his grandfather Bruce Morrell bring the scene to life. The railway features 11 trains on continuous tracks and 5 trolleys. The decorated buildings, which include prominent Philadelphia landmarks, are made of natural materials.
