Derry Railroad Days is an annual celebration in Derry, PA that pays homage to the town's rich railroad history and the contributions of railroad workers to the local culture. The festival features a variety of events, including a traditional parade, the Railroad Days festival, and a Hobo Picnic.
Originally established in 1852 as Derry Station to serve the Pennsylvania Railroad, the town boasted a bustling railroad yard and several hotels catering to railroad workers.
