The Railroad Museum of Long Island held its annual festival in Riverhead Saturday afternoon to the delight of train enthusiasts from all over the area.
Two large train layouts were on display along with several smaller sets. Historic LIRR railroad cars were open to tour and a miniature railroad from the 1964-1965 World’s Fair took visitors on a ride around the festival arena.
