Old 97 Rail Days
September 22 – 23
Saturday 10 am – 5 pm and Sunday 11 am – 2pm
Enjoy N-scale models traveling through tiny towns and rural areas brought to by the Eastern N-Lines partnership. Check out a 1,200 sq. ft display of model trains running and weaving along multi-layer tracks crossing artistic landscapes of mountains, valleys and rivers. Everything is to scale from the loads on the boxcars to the cows in the fields. Walk through a fully restored Norfolk and Western caboose along the train tracks and check out a miniature version of the Old 97 wreck scene and Danville’s historic train station in Science Station. 50% off gallery admission on Saturday, September 22.
