"A holiday toy-train exhibit that first went on display 21 years ago at the Citigroup Center office tower is nearing the end of the line, derailed by the bank's cost- cutting.
The lender, which is eliminating 52,000 jobs after getting a $45 billion government bailout, canceled sponsorship of the free show visited by more than 125,000 people a year. It means a savings of about $240,000 for Citigroup Inc.
Unless the bank reconsiders or another sponsor steps up, the show that started in 1987 in the building's lobby will end Jan. 2."
I saw this show a few years ago. It would be a real shame to see it disappear for good.
