Watch antique O-Scale trains and a street car wind their way through the Baltimore neighborhood in front of a new wooded hillside. Join kids of all ages as they enjoy the rebuilt Holiday Train Garden at the Fire Museum of Maryland. The new Garden features a “burning” building, complete with fire engines and hoses crisscrossing the fire ground.
