Event Details:
West Chicago Celebrates 175 Years of Railroad History: West Chicago was the first Illinois community created by the western expansion of the railroad west out of Chicago. In 1849 two train lines met here at the Junction, later to be known as Turner Junction, and the community grew up around that important point of commerce and travel. 175 years later trains continue to impact everyday life in West Chicago. Join the West Chicago City Museum for a presentation about the trains that built West Chicago and the many West Chicagoans that worked on the railroad.
