Illinois Railway Museum: Diesel Days 2026

Another yearly tradition at the Illinois Railway Museum is in the books as we attended Diesel Days last weekend. This year was quite a bit different which included a freight train demonstration with the addition of a new photography spot for railfans and a surprise visit which concluded a productive weekend at the museum. It was also great to see many familiar faces and many other railfans who joined us all weekend long. Enjoy the video as many different vintage diesel locomotives on various trains at the Illinois Railway Museum!
