The model Train Garden, a beloved Cambridge community winter display for generations, has occupied prime space in the vacated City Hall building for nearly 20 years. Now that the city plans to rehabilitate the historic building and move back in, city administrators and officials from the Rescue Fire Company Inc. which operates the train garden have reached an impasse.
In a dispute online and in dueling press releases, tensions and emotions have run high. Both sides say they want to find a resolution that preserves the Train Garden, and are taking it to the City Council to find a resolution.
