The weekend after Father’s Day, trains roll in for this two-day festival featuring free miniature train rides, $5 rides on the full-size Carillon Park Railroad, live steam engines, model train displays, historical displays, and more.
Carillon Historical Park is home to B&O No. 1 John Quincy Adams — the oldest surviving American-built locomotive — a Barney & Smith wooden parlor car, an Interurban, a train station, and more. Presented by the Carillon Park Rail & Steam Society, Rail Festival perfectly complements the Park’s rail-themed artifacts, many of which are housed in the James F. Dicke Family Transportation Center.
All proceeds benefit Dayton History, a privately funded nonprofit organization, in its mission to insprie generations by connecting them with the unique people, places, and events that changed Dayton and the world.
Regular admission fees apply. FREE to Dayton History members.
