All Aboard the Diablo Valley Lines
Holiday Shows Announced
What: Families can ‘ride’ the Diablo Valley Lines during their six whistle stop holiday shows, featuring hundreds of model trains representing the mid 20th century through today, traveling over 4,300 feet of track on one of the world’s most mountainous model railroad layouts. The continuous show, dispatched by two Walnut Creek Model Railroad Society members, includes a dramatic sunset and night scenes with a rainy thunderstorm, a street railway with trolley cars, big freight yards and a large passenger terminal. The elaborate 34×56 foot layout includes a composite of the mountainous area of the Western United States, bridges, tunnels, terrain from desert to snow covered mountains, towns, train yards, electric street cars, wind turbine, ski lift gondola and more.
