Every summer as a kid, I looked forward to Railroad Days. I don’t have pictures because back then, film was for special occasions. 

Railroad Days meant freedom and exploration. Carnival rides. Stringy onion rings. Corn dogs. Fresh lemonade. Bed races.

As we got older, Railroad Days meant flirting with boys, and Street Dances. Dancing with friends. Lots of dancing.

If you are in the Galesburg, IL area this weekend, check out Railroad Days. Ride some rides. Take the train. Scope out the museum. Just have fun! We did.
