🚂 All aboard! The Titletown Train Show rolled into downtown Green Bay this weekend, packing more than 35,000 square feet of the KI Convention Center with model trains, memorabilia, and collectors from across the region.
One of them — Paul Johnson of Washburn — helped restore the historic Bayview Train Depot, where crews uncovered 1930s graffiti scrawled by kids who knew it'd be hidden behind drywall. Over 50 names. A whole binder of stories. Local people. Railroad people.
This year marked 25 years of what organizers call "the world's greatest hobby"
