Sunset Hill's Iliana Train Society Garden Railroad at Sunset Hill Farm Park

Sunset Hill's Iliana Train Society Garden Railroad at Sunset Hill Farm Park 2021.

The Sunset Hill’s Illiana Train Society "Bull Moose Line" is being rebuilt within Sunset Hill Farm County Park located just off the intersection of
US Route 6 and  775 Meridian Road in Valparaiso Indiana.


Although uncompleted after five years of rebuilding the Illiana Train Society "Bull Moose Line" is running once again.










To more closely identify with their move to the Sunset Hill Farm County Park the Society membership of 
 the Illiana Garden Railway voted to change their name to 
Sunset Hill's Illiana Train Society,
 in 2018

Internet quotes from members of the Relocation Committee

Dave Ransom : May 30, 2018
Beginning in 2018 Society members will be working to construct the outdoor layout on the Sunset Hill Farm Park property, to open in 2019. In the meantime, the group has created brochures to announce the move, invite new members and secure local funding for the construction program

Lance Molenda : 5 Stars July 17, 2018. 
This excellent rating is for the true and only Illiana Garden Railway Society ... (IGRS) by renaming the club to the Sunset Hill's Illiana Train Society (SHITS).

George Sarver : May 10, 2020. 
There was no way us old train geeks could build this layout. We did have a professional landscaper build to our specs.
