WE ARE A GROUP OF 300 INDIVIDUALS DEDICATED TO THE PRESERVATION OF DOCUMENTS AND ARTIFACTS OF RAILROAD HISTORY. WE PROMOTE THE USE AND IMPROVEMENT OF THE RAILROAD INDUSTRY, WE ACQUIRE AND RESTORE ROLLING STOCK FOR DISPLAY AND OPERATION, AND GERERALLY ENCOURAGE PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE ONGOING STORY OF NORTH AMERICAN RAILROADS. WE ALSO OPERATE VARIOUS RAIL EXCURSIONS INCLUDING THE WORLD FAMOUS NEW RIVER TRAINS. WE MAINTAIN AN OUTDOOR AND INDOOR MUSEUM AND HOLD TWO RAILROAD SHOWS EACH YEAR.

Our Vision-

WE BELEIVE THAT AMERICAN RAILROADS HAVE A BRIGHT FUTURE AND WE NEED TO ENCOURAGE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN TO BE PART OF THAT.
