The Railroad Museum of Long Island held its annual festival in Riverhead this weekend, celebrating its 25th anniversary.
Folks from all over Long Island came to enjoy the many toy train layouts, historic passenger cars and cabooses, and other displays.  A highlight for many visitors was taking a ride on the historic LIRR Pavillion Word’s Fair train.

The festival also featured refreshments, railroad music and a gift shop.
