Engineering Open House (EOH) is an annual event organized entirely by engineering students at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  It is held each spring semester, and draws estimated crowds of 20,000 people including, students, teachers, parents and families, from all over Illinois (and beyond). The Railroad Engineering Program participates in EOH each year by working with major railroads who to set up various exhibits and displays of railroad technology.  In 2009, Norfolk Southern and Canadian National (CN) each had displays in Newmark Civil Engineering Laboratory along with the AREMA Student Chapter and the Illini Railroading Club.  These included a full-size locomotive simulator, a computerized railroad network dispatching and train control system, a model railroad, and a intermodal game.  Photos of the railroad displays at EOH 2009, taken by Chris Barkan and Athaphon Kawprasert, are shown below, along with links to photos of the participating railroad displays and the EOH website.
