The Rosenberg Railroad Museum will host “RAILFEST ’25” on Sunday, June 22 from noon to 4 p.m., giving attendees an opportunity to get an up-close look at machines from the Golden Age of Rail.
Attendees will be invited inside the museum’s 1938 ATSF #3401 Railway Post Office (RPO) car, a rare opportunity to see the interior of this historic mail car before restoration begins. When the car was in service, postal workers sorted mail as the train sped across the country.
Also debuting at RAILFEST, festivalgoers will experience pure railroad folklore when storyteller MaryAnn Blue takes to the stage with “Tales from the Rails.” A longtime member and past president of the Texas Folklore Society, Blue will weave stories about life along the tracks of the Missouri Pacific Sunshine Special in the early 1920s, spin the legend of train outlaw Railroad Bill, and share the eerie tale of the “Old Dilly Place” in 1950s Palestine, Texas, as well as ghost train story from 1890s Colorado…
