Year 2015 was the third edition of the Dubai Miracle Garden and as of year 2017 (fifth edition), the Floral Train is still part of the Dubai Miracle Garden. Initially; there was a single train at the Dubai Miracle Garden and a year later another train was also introduced at the Dubai Miracle Garden. The firstly introduced Floral Train had flags of different countries on its each boggy while the latterly introduced Floral Train’s bogies usually brighten up from inside during the evening hours. It doesn’t display any flowers.

It should also be remembered that Petunia flowers are being used at more than 90% of all the architectures, sculptures and even vehicle themes of the Dubai Miracle Garden. Basically; all the bogies of the train are coal carrying bogies. The organizers have swapped the coal of the bogies with colorful flowers in this Floral Train. Each bogie is coated with a unique color combination of Petunia Flowers. The flowers which have been witnessed so far within these bogies include red, purple, white, blue and pink. Flags of several countries are represented on each bogie of the train. These flags include flags of UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, Brazil, South Africa, United States, Japan, Russia, France, Kenya, Canada, South Korea, China and Pakistan etc. Other types of flowers have also been used in the surrounding areas (flower beddings) of both trains. These flowers include Marigold, Petunia (already used) and Verbena Flowers.

Each bogie has a unique flag on its both sides and altogether these bogies of the train represent about 48 flags of different countries at the Dubai Miracle Garden. The engine of the train and its bogies have same size as the real train and its bogies’ sizes. The total length of this whole Floral Train including the bogies and engine is about 400 feet altogether. The length of each bogie is around 12 feet and the length of the engine is around 64 feet. The second Floral Train is a smaller version of the train and it has 3 bogies along with the engine. This train has a length of around 150 feet long and it is almost 3 times smaller than the first Floral Train of the Dubai Miracle Garden.

The bogies of the Floral Train are powered by the Thomas Engine (also called the steam engine) at the front. The driver’s compartment within the engine is given a wooden theme. The bogies of the train are designed with a wooden theme while their wheels look somewhat different perhaps they appeared to be made up of some ceramic material. However; the only thing that is missing within the theme is the railway track for the Floral Trains. Both the trains are parked on gravel bedding and then they are surrounded with flowers at the Dubai Miracle Garden.
