MIDDLETOWN—It’s confirmed: Railroad memorabilia events are a guy’s thing. Boys of all ages gathered at the Mulberry Senior Center in Middletown on July 26 for the annual Middletown Railroad Day event.
Visitors browsed vendor tables to see miniature train displays, buy vintage railroad artifacts, and talk with other guys who love railroads. Guest speaker for the event was Woodbury High School student Alex Prizgintas, 14, who spoke about E.H. Harriman’s Incline Railroad.
Joe Senese, board member of the Ontario & Western Railroad Historical Society, which sponsored the event, said “The Middletown Railroad Day is where people can come and get together, talk about trains, see model displays, and buy books and all kinds of other rare memorabilia, whether it’s toys or actual vintage railroad lanterns.”
