This weekend, Pullman celebrates 100 years of the Metra Electric line with Railroad Days — a nostalgic throwback featuring vintage trains like a 1926 Pullman electric and 1970s models, plus model trains, STEM fun, music, and food trucks. The electrified rail revolution didn’t just move people — it reshaped Chicago’s lakefront, beaches, and urban growth, with some cars even built right in Pullman. Longtime rail fans and locals are reliving childhood memories and championing rail as a sustainable, efficient future. Officials call it one of America’s earliest green commutes — a legacy that still powers the city’s progress. Don’t miss this chance to ride the rails of history.
