Events
Sadly, our 2025 Season has come to an end with our Pumpkin Train Festival, and we hope everyone enjoyed themselves at the festival. But, we will see everyone again in 2026 for an all New Season, starting with the Big Rock Car Show, on Sunday, June 7, 2026.
We look forward to seeing everyone again in 2026!
The Prairie State Railroad Club would like to express our "Heartfelt Thank You" and "Appreciation" to all the people that made the Pumpkin Train Festival possible this year.
From all the Volunteers, to the Sponsors, to the Track-Line Displays, and to all the Attendees and beyond, it wouldn’t be possible without each and every one of you!
“Thank You”
We will see you all again next year, on
Saturday, October 3, 2026
so mark your calendars for another Family Fun Day at the Pumpkin Train Festival!
