Description

Railroad Days

One of Chicago's greatest events is back for a third incredible year - Pullman Railroad Days: People, Progress & Innovation. Don't miss your chance to explore Pullman's rich railroad heritage and see three historic railcars up close and in person!

Volunteers welcome guests, help with tickets, parking, tours, and all kinds of great activities. Sign up to volunteer and get a free Railroad Days T-shirt and early access to the historic trains! 

This year's event features three remarkable train cars, not-before-seen at Railroad Days!

Visitors can tour the 1950 Pullman Sleeper-Observation Blue Ridge Club, the 1934 Sleeper-Lounge Dover Harbor, and the 1957 Art Deco beauty, Hollywood Beach - all here at the 111th Street/Pullman Station, thanks to Metra and the American Association of Private Rail Car Owners (AAPRCO).

Your service makes all the difference - none of this happens without you!
