Welcome to the Fever River Railroad

Stephenson Society of Model Trainsmen



The Fever River Railroad is a model railroad club located in Freeport, Illinois owned and operated by the Stephenson Society of Model Trainmen, a non-profit organization incorporated in the State of Illinois. We have built a large, permanent HO scale model railroad layout in our clubhouse which was a boarding house for the Illinois Central Railroad Iowa Division.  Our layout size is 120'-by-24' including a staging yard with a helix for continuous operation.
