This year, the NCHS announced that the show will have a room devoted to the New York Central Railroad, curated by Jamie Comstock, a descendent of Cornelius Vanderbilt. The New York Central Railroad Company was one of the largest American railroads operating in the northeast.

The Holiday Gift Shop will be open to find the perfect gift for your "trainiac" friends and family members.

The train show will run from Nov. 19 - Jan. 8, on weekends and the week between Christmas and New Year's.

The New Castle Historical Society is located at 100 King St. in Chappaqua.

Tickets are $10 for members and $15 for non-members. Tickets are $8 for children ages 2-8. Processing fees will also apply.

Tickets can be purchased here.

On Saturday, Dec. 3, you will be able to pair a visit to the train show with a stroll through cozy Chappaqua. Santa will be there for visits, along with ice sculptures, delicious food and holiday shopping. There will be a tree lighting at the Greeley House at the end of the evening.
