These Wellesley holiday trains run on schedule

December 20, 2018 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

You’ve still got time to check out the Holiday Junction electric train set-up, including a Red Sox train, at Faber’s Rug in Wellesley Square.

The annual display has taken place since 2005 and runs this time around until early January. It’s supported by the Wellesley Historical Society and member Allan Cook, who owns the trains.
