This weekend marks the 45th annual Galesburg Railroad Days. 

The festival features a carnival on the city square, car cruise-in, tours of the BNSF rail yard and railroad museum, firefighter water competitions, as well as one of the Midwest's biggest toy train shows. Greg Norris, one of the directors of the event, says that this is the 30th year of the show.

The event takes place Saturday and Sunday at the T. Flemming Fieldhouse on Knox College's campus. Admission is $5 but kids under 12 are free.
