Abilene Railroad Festival
This fall, the 3rd Annual Abilene Railroad Festival will be returning to the Texas & Pacific Railway cultural district corridor of North First street.
Our goal of this community wide event is to remind our city of its history with the railroad industry by providing unique involvement, subject specific presentations and incorporate introductory, family friendly interactive engagement that also values the perspective of railroad enthusiasts.
