Railfest Benefits Southampton Station
The Southampton Railroad Station Society held it's 2nd annual Railfest Saturday at the North & Southampton Reformed Church.
The Southampton Railroad Station Society Second Annual Railfest featured operational toy train layouts, historical groups and exhibits, food and vendors, live music, face painting and live train conductors at the Saturday.
