The Rosenberg Railroad Museum was inundated with rail fans of all ages for the Fall Fun Fest on September 20th. Music played as visitors took in all the Museum had to offer: model train layouts provided by the Houston Area “G” Gaugers, food, games, crafts, a bounce house and tours of the Museum’s exhibits. Everyone patiently waited for the arrival of two Santa Fe Warbonnet locomotives and restored railcars from the Galveston Railroad Museum, and visitors to the Fall Fun Fest were not disappointed from their front row seat on Museum grounds.
Rosenberg martial arts school Blue Tiger Martial Arts and area dance schools Jaznatics Dance Crew and Dance du Coeur were on hand performing for the happy crowd. Kids experienced old-fashioned games, arts, crafts and a hands-on railroad flag signaling workshop. For collectors and model enthusiasts, the Museum had models and other memorabilia for sale, and visitors browsed local vendors’ booths and munched on food from crowd pleasers Big Poppa’s Kettle Corn and others.
The Rosenberg Railroad Museum would like to thank all who attended and supported this year’s Fall Fun Fest. Executive Director Ratha Liladrie said, “People came out from all over the Houston area to view these beautifully restored Santa Fe Warbonnets, and these enthusiastic rail fans made this event fantastic.” Board Member Sandi Paulus added, “The Rosenberg Railroad Museum is so happy to bring this event to the community. Presenting and teaching about the railroad heritage of our city is our passion! It is such a part of our community’s history, as well as the history of Texas and our nation. We appreciate the communities’ support of our efforts, but more than that, we appreciate the time visitors took to bring the next generation along to experience their heritage.”
