    We stayed in Galesburg overnight once.
    What an amazing place.
    The next morning the little museum was closed but a man working there let me in and gave me a private tour.
    I sure wish I could be there!
    Have a wonderful time!

    Thanks Johnny,

    This place here is full of trains. Here in Galesburg we have huge terminal with Hump yard and classification yard. Hope some of you could make this year. Sounds like it going to good festival this year.

    But if you can't make it then is any time a good time to travel down to see trains?
    This is a bad (to busy) weekend for me. [​IMG]
