Chicago’s biggest rail-themed event is like nothing you’ve ever experienced!
Come and explore historic Pullman railcars including the Royal Street – a sleek Observation-Lounge railcar built by the Pullman Company in 1950 for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. It’s just one of the incredible railcars featured at this year’s event, thanks to Metra and the American Association of Private Railroad Car Owners (AAPRCO).
The nearly century-old railcars are all brought here by Metra and showcased at the 111th Street/Pullman Metra Electric Station.
