CHILLICOTHE, Ill. (WMBD) — The Chillicothe Community Fire Protection District is hosting the 3rd Ride the Rails passenger train excursion on June 3. Five vintage train cars will carry people from Chillicothe to Henry, Illinois. The train cars are 1920’s-era and were rebuilt after World War II.

1400 tickets have been sold so far, with around 350 left for purchase. Tickets are being sold at several city locations, including Better Banks and the Historical Society. The event brings a national crowd.

The event only happens every 3 to 4 years. The first event was held in 2016, then 2019, and now 2023. Amanda Beadles, economic development director for the city of Chillicothe, said that she hopes those who attend enjoy the day.
