Since 1963, the nonprofit club’s home has been the Clarendon Park Community Center, the last anchor left from the site’s early history as a public beach and subsequent rebirth as a recreational center for teens. In 1972, a previous version of the railroad came to an end when the field house was remodeled. But the current railroad is the club’s largest to date and one of the largest model railroads in the country, according to the club. It takes about 30 minutes for a train to run through the whole layout, and anywhere from 15 to 25 trains can run at the same time, all independently operated.
