All Aboard the Railroad Heritage Day Gallery

Area residents flocked to the Homewood Auditorium to take part in the Village of Homewood's 10th Annual Railroad Heritage Day event. The event featured miniature train displays, a miniature train ride called 'Little Obie,' and more.

Homewood-Flossmoor area residents had the chance to ride the rails, or at least pretend to, this past weekend as the 10th Annual Railroad Heritage Day event at the Homewood Auditorium. The event, which ran from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., featured an array of rail-related items on display and for sale, along with raffles and a short ride on Canadian National's 'Little Obie,' a smaller, wheeled version of a traditional locomotive.

This year's event drew hundreds of attendees, both young and old, and plans are already underway for next year's event.

Check out the photo gallery above to see all the train-centric action and feel free to add your own photos from the event as well.
