National Train Day, May 9, 2009

National Train Day is upon us and this year the celebration is bigger and better. This Saturday from 10am to 3pm, enjoy live musical entertainment and educational and interactive displays about train travel in the past, present and future, including:

Exhibits you can only find at National Train Day include: Trains Move Our Economy: An in-depth exploration of rail's current and future role in American society, learn about proposed high-speed corridors, the upgrading of rail infrastructure, electrification and the role of freight trains in our economy.

Go-Green Express: Discover the green aspects of rail travel – energy efficiency, electric rail, regenerative braking, etc. – with this free-standing interactive display.

Honor the Bright Land: Trains and the Preservation of America's Great Places: This art gallery will honor the connection between trains and our national landscape through the art of J. Craig Thorpe.
