Chicago Railroad Fairs

Scenes from the 1948 & 1949 Chicago Railroad Fairs.

I was 5 years old when my grandparents and parents took me to the 1948 Chicago Railroad Fair. The event left its mark on me to this day.

I have cleaned up these images somewhat, but have more work to do before they are "professional grade."
