"It's a free event. All we ask is that you guys donate some food to the food pantry. We already collected a couple of thousand pounds here at village hall. We have a trailer out in front, and it's loaded with food," said Frank Desimone, mayor of Bensenville.

The event begins at 7 p.m. at York Road and Railroad Avenue.

The train is scheduled to roll in at 6:45 p.m. and depart at 7:30 p.m.
