I have heard that Springfield is one of the cmost common city names in the USA, and that is why Matt Groening chose it for the city in The Simpsons.

I've been 3 times to the Springfield show and it was bloody cold all three times but probably the best train show I've ever been to. I'm now too far away so don't go any more.

This will be my 21st year in a row at this show. It's one amazing show that brightens up a dreary time of year. --- Ken

Typically about 20,000 paid attendance, plus another 4000 or 5000 exhibitors.
This is the Porter loco we brought to Springfield last year. ON loan from Eadyville, Boothbay Railway Village rebuilt the boiler of this loco a couple years ago

Technically it is the Railroad Hobby Show, held at the Eastern States Exposition fairgrounds. When I was a kid who liked to crawl all over the tractors, we just called it "the Exposition".

It is right in the link.
And it is the West Springfield show, not the Springfield show. Two different cities separated by the Connecticut River.
I nearby and have been going to the show since it opened and have hear some saying they looked for the show in Springfield for at least an hour till they found someone familiar with the show. With the Internet, that does not happen much now.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
West Springfield, MA and the original poster DID provide a link...
Coming up soon. Note, Saturday or Sunday advanced tickets or get a combo.
