Wesley and Leland's Enchanted Train Journey at Filoli
Sunday, November 23rd, 2025 at 2:32:17 PM · 2025/Thistlewyck - Filoli
On a crisp November afternoon in 2025, Wesley and Leland gather side by side at a rustic wooden fence at Thistlewyck, the enchanting garden railway exhibit at Filoli Historic House & Garden in Woodside, California. The two boys are utterly transfixed as a colorful G-scale miniature train — featuring a green locomotive pulling blue, red, and yellow passenger cars — winds its way through a beautifully landscaped layout of ferns, silver-leafed shrubs, and dwarf conifers. The garden railway is ingeniously constructed with natural log posts supporting elevated track sections, blending seamlessly with the lush surroundings. Autumn sunlight filters through towering redwood and cypress trees, casting dappled shadows across the rich bark mulch and verdant plantings. The scene perfectly captures the timeless joy of childhood wonder set against the serene beauty of one of California's most celebrated historic gardens.
