While our members have widely varied tastes in trains, they all share a deep commitment to the preservation, restoration, and operation of railroad equipment. Foremost in all our activities is the chance to meet new people and make new friends. Our monthly meetings bring us together to share stories and news, to reminisce, and to plan future club events. We have movies, slide shows, or guest speakers every month. In short, we provide a great opportunity to socialize and do some good old-fashioned armchair railroading.
Membership is open to all.
Other activities of the Chapter include railroading shows, Chapter Library, museum visits, photo sessions, and railfan excursions on mainline and short line railroads behind diesels, as well as steam engines. Membership in the Baltimore Chapter also enrolls you in the National Railway Historical Society, an organization with over 165 chapters. This entitles you to receive the NRHS bi-monthly journal, The National Railway Bulletin, and 10 issues of the Chapter newsletter, The Interchange. Back in 1935, the founders of our society recognized the need to preserve and promote railroading nationwide. We invite you to join us in this fascinating and rewarding world of railroading.
