Railfest 2025

Railfest returns to Steamtown Labor Day Weekend! Join us for three days of train rides, guided tours, community partner displays, and family-friendly fun—all celebrating the legacy of railroading in America.

 

This year’s event will feature Grand Trunk Western #6039 in honor of its 100th anniversary. Built in 1925, this iconic steam locomotive stands as a testament to a century of railroading history; its story is far from over.

 

Whether you’re a longtime rail enthusiast or a first-time visitor, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Full schedule of events to follow.
