Trains and railroad are an essential part of our history. They have played a crucial role in the history of the country. You might not be able to get on the real historical locomotives, but you can surely see them and be transported to a different place and time with these three fantastic mini replica trains.
Northlandz
Found in Flemington, New Jersey and hailed as the most extensive replica railroad in the world, Northlandz is a large railroad with 135 locomotives pulling hundreds and hundreds of cars around eight miles of track and bridges that are as long as 40 feet plus.
Northlandz started out as a passion project for its creator, Bruce Zaccagnino, who started building out in his basement. When it grew bigger in scale, he began to show it to the public twice a year. But when he saw the delight it elicited from people, he finally opened it.
Aside from the trains, the railroad track also features 4,000 building, 400 bridges, a 30-foot mountain, 200 dolls, and a 300-seat auditorium among others.
Garfield-Clarendon Model Railroad Club
The locomotives at the Garfield-Clarendon Model Railroad Club are surely no carnival trains, but they are nonetheless insignificant. It features different kinds of trains from commercial to coal transport as well as buildings, mountains, and water towers. The railway system is the fifth miniature replica that the group has created since 1947. Train enthusiasts who own models are welcome to bring their train sets on Fridays and let them run on the tracks.
The New Orleans Train Garden
Relive history, even on a miniature scale, as 1/22-scale replica trains go through a quarter-mile of track around 18th century New Orleans. You can find this in the heart of the city’s Botanical Garden. The replica features the city’s landmarks and historical sites, and other buildings transporting you to a bygone era.
