Railroad Days will take over the Summers County town October 17th and 18th, then again on the 24th and 25th.

Downtown streets will be filled with more than 60 food and craft vendors and town square will offer live entertainment.

Hinton became a designated railroad terminal back in 1873 when the Chesapeake and Ohio regularly came through the area.

"We had a big round house here that worked on the steam engines and it was a very bustling, busy little community back in those days but of course steam was done away with, the diesels came in and that made a change but we're still a railroad town," said Dorothy Boley, Railroad Days organizer.

The Railroad Museum in Hinton will be open during the festival.

Activities run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each of the festival days.
