Rivanna Chapter, NRHS May Meeting

NATIONAL RAILWAY HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Rivanna Chapter

Charlottesville, Virginia

MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

Each NRHS member receives the NATIONAL RAILWAY BULLETIN every other month. With articles, photos and news of railroading past and present, the BULLETIN is recognized as a leading rail historical publication. In addition, members of the Rivanna Chapter receive the chapter's bimonthly newsletter, the Rivanna Rail.

The Rivanna Chapter meets every month for dinner and a program at a local Charlottesville restaurant. The program could be a talk and slide show by a Rivanna Chapter member concerning a recent rail trip, a guest speaker presenting a topic of railroad interest, or the screening of an historic railroad film or video. Each summer the Chapter holds an annual picnic at a location of railroad interest. The Rivanna Chapter also schedules occasional excursions to visit railroad sites of interest or just to take a train ride.

The Annual Convention is a highly visible NRHS function. Each year several hundred members gather in a place of railroading significance, and the results are publicized nationwide. From prominent guest speakers to local area tours to spectacular rail excursions, there's enjoyment for everyone at an NRHS Convention.

Back in 1935 the founders of the NRHS recognized the need to preserve and promote railroading nationwide. This need still exists - and you can be a part of our efforts. All the accomplishments of the NRHS are achieved by volunteers from its ranks. The NRHS is proud of its many members that provide leadership and skills in chapter and national projects. A mixture of the "fan" and the serious administrator have made the NRHS the leader in rail preservation, history and operation.
