3rd Annual Holiday Railfest - December 8, 2012
On Saturday December 8, 2012, the Southampton Railroad Station Society hosted the popular Holiday Railfest at the Northampton and Southampton reformed Church in Upper Southampton Township, in the village of Churchville. For a third year in a row, Railfest provided area residents an opportunity to learn about model railroading, discuss the hobby with industry pros, purchase parts for their model trainsets, learn about local and railroad history, and enjoy the sights and sounds of the season with live entertainment and good food.
