Living History at Rail Fest

Have you ever wished you could turn back the clock to the time when rail travel dominated the nation? When every little town had a depot and getting to the nearest big city was as easy as a walk across the platform in your hometown depot?

You can relive those days at the Cody Park Railroad Museum during Rail Fest, when local station masters, retired railroaders, telegraphers, and even volunteers from the North Platte Canteen will be sharing their stories.

Visit with them, ask questions, hear their stories, and share your stories or those of your family with them. Whether you’re a rail fan, a history buff, or just have a nostalgia for “the good old days”, you’ll enjoy meeting these wonderful people.

Check the schedule of events out at www.nprailfest.com, or stop by any of the information booths at Rail Fest to see what time the different people are available for a visit.

Most of the preparations have been made, all that's left to do is to see you all here! Remember, the first-ever North Platte Rail Fest will begin with the first tours of Bailey Yard at 8:30 a.m. on Friday September 21.
