The event offers “families, train enthusiasts, and the community an enchanting experience featuring intricately detailed model locomotives and train cars and historic railroad scenes,” a news release said.
The train display is presented by Sunflower Bank in partnership with the Railroad Model and Historical Association of El Paso.
New this year, the display includes lavender ribbons to support the El Paso community’s “cancer warriors.” These ribbons represent awareness and solidarity for all who have shown strength in their fight against any form of cancer, according to a news release sent out after the display opened for the season.
Visitors are encouraged to complete a ribbon of support to honor a special cancer warrior in their lives. These messages will remain on display in the second-floor lobby throughout the holiday season, serving as a beacon of hope and support for all who visit, according to the news release.
The display also serves as the start of the countdown to Texas Tech Health El Paso’s Lighting Campus for Hope event. That event will be at 6 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6 on the Texas Tech campus at 130 Rick Francis St. Cancer warriors are invited to attend the event to be honored and share their stories.
