This year’s focus was “Saving Railroading History.” Festival goers had the chance to get up close to toy trains in all scales, including a historic Lionel layout. They could also ride the restored 1964-65 World’s Fair park train. Additionally, there was food and live music, vendors and the “scoot” train to Greenport.
