Toy trains seem to have that magical ability to bring excitement and fun no matter how old you are so re-live your childhood at the B&O Railroad Museum's Holiday Festival of Trains, where displays of different model railroads will stir up your imagination and bring back memories.

New this year are weekend train rides with Santa, who will be giving out candy canes with the help of his elves. Kids can also get some holiday shopping done at Santa's Secret Shop, listen to holiday stories and videos and make crafts.

Be sure to print out a coupon to save a buck off admission.

Ellicott City Station will be featuring a Thomas the Tank Engine model layout and will allow kids to drop off letters to Santa at the station's telegraph office.
