AND for you train watchers looking for a place to stay near a railroad as you travel around, one of our regular customers has done us all a service by listing hotels around the country on his site - Motels for Train Watchers.

We also make the annual trek to Galesburg Illinois for their Railroad Days in late June. General Galesburg information can be found at Galesburg Convention Bureau. Great train watching up there as the BNSF main line crosses Main Street in two places in downtown. Trains every 10-15 minutes all day!
