BALTIMORE — The B&O Railroad Museum may not be where you'd think about getting school supplies, but it was the perfect place on Saturday for military families, thanks to CSX and Operation Homefront.

A back-to-school celebration was held for hundreds of local military families at the historic B&O Railroad Museum.

Along with backpacks, pencils, and notebooks, kids also got a chance to take a train ride.

Families who took part say it's a great way to connect with other families in the military, "We just brought the kids out to the back-to-school event so that they could see the trains, get school supplies, and just have an afternoon out,” said one parent in attendance.
