About
Chicago's biggest rail-themed event features historic Pullman railcars, a STEAM activity fair, and a whole weekend of family fun to explore! Step aboard history—and experience the future—at Railroad Days (RRD), a family-friendly celebration of trains, technology, and transformation at Pullman National Historical Park. In 1926, Chicago's Illinois Central Railroad electrified its suburban rail service, launching a cleaner, quieter, and more modern way to move millions of people along the city's shoreline. Pullman-built electric railcars replaced steam, reshaping daily life, industry, and the landscape of Chicago forever. One hundred years later, Railroad Days brings this electrifying history to life—connecting the past, present, and future of rail, electricity, design, and infrastructure.
