Two more treasured train displays are on track this holiday season.

Both "EnterTRAINment Junction" and the Cincinnati Museum Center's "Holiday Junction" opened Saturday and run through January 3rd.

"EnterTRAINment Junction" in West Chester is offering three free train displays:  One donated from the Indianapolis Children's Museum, another built by volunteers from the local Garden Railway Club, and another donated by Nancy's Hallmark, said General Manager Bill Balfour.

EnterTRAINment Junction will also have a big walk-thru area featuring scenes from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" and a "Winter Wonderland," which winds its way to Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the elves' workshop.

This is the second year for the big christmas display that "puts smiles on people's faces," says Balfour.

"All I know is everybody I've ever talked to remembers when they were a little kid...having a little train that went around the Christmas tree...and I just think it's nostalgic."

The Cincinnati Museum Center's "Holiday Junction" at Union Terminal on the West Side is returning for the 16th year.

It too will feature Santa and many activities in a addition to the trains.
