Picture of Replica Engine #2107

The Homeville Museum (a component of the CNY Living History Center) has an extensive collection of local railroad memorabilia and model trains available every day. However, Train Day will feature special exhibits, tours and talks.

At 1:00 Gene Enders will speak on "CNY Railroads"

From 11:00 - 12:00 & again from 3:00 - 4:00 James Bugh will demonstrate electric model trains and answer questions.

For kids & families, we will have Thomas the Tank Engine, Polar Express and Harry Potter model trains. Our replica of the front end of Engine #2107 (pictured above) is a great background for pictures...bring, buy or borrow an engineer cap! We'll also have craft activities.
