Rail&SteamSchedule

Rail & Steam Society Train Schedule

The Carillon Park Railroad was built with education by demonstration in mind: a complete operating 1/8th scale railroad with the sights and sounds of the railroad industry from its earliest days to the present. All locomotive types – steam, electric and diesel – are operated on the railroad and serve to both preserve and demonstrate historical technologies.

Clodbusters

Clodbusters Base Ball

Typically holding games on Sundays, and during Carillon Historical Park’s main events, the Clodbuster Base Ball Club play 1860s base ball (spelled using two words until the 1880s). Enjoying the game the “way it was meant to be played,” the Clodbusters dress in period uniforms and adhere to 1860s rules.
