A trip to the hospital is not always something that kids look forward to, but there is a good reason to visit McLaren Port Huron over the next few weeks. The annual train display is up and running in the South Lobby of the hospital, located on Pine Grove Avenue in Port Huron.
The presentation is an elaborate display of trains, figurines, villages, and landscapes. The train is a labor of love from local train enthusiast and otolaryngologist, Dr. Percy McDonald. When he is not busy treating the ears, noses, and throats of local patients, he is engineering his train display for the community to enjoy. This is the 32nd year that the train has been running at the hospital. It runs for an hour, then takes an hour off to cool the motors.
Since 1987, hospital patients, guests, and visitors have been watching the ever-changing display of imagination and creativity. The train runs from 8-9 a.m., 10-11 a.m., 12-2 p.m., 2-4 p.m., 5-6 p.m., and 7-8 p.m. daily. It will run for a few weeks into the new year.
