Train Day Toledo returns again on Saturday, May 5th, 2018, from 9:30am - 4:00pm, to the Martin Luther King Jr. Plaza for our 11th consecutive year!
Toledo locals and travelers may be more familiar with this location as Toledo's Amtrak station as well as the Greyhound bus terminal.
Train Day Toledo is all about celebrating and promoting all things rail - especially travel by rail!
Our event includes trackside displays, model train exhibits, food vendors, local business and organization displays as well as representation from local and national passenger rail advocacy and rail safety groups.
This is a free event and fun for the whole family!
"It is an honor to be recognized by the Rail Passengers Association for my efforts to strengthen and expand America’s passenger rail. Golden spikes were once used by railroads to mark the completion of important rail projects, so I am truly grateful to receive the Golden Spike Award as a way to mark the end of a career that I’ve spent fighting to invest in our country’s rail system. As Chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, it has been my priority to bolster funding for Amtrak, increase and expand routes, look to the future by supporting high-speed projects, and improve safety, culminating in $66 billion in new funding in the Bipartisan infrastructure Law."
