Philadelphia Chapter - Pennsylvania Railroad Technical & Historical Society The Philadelphia Chapter - PRRT&HS
Preserving the history & memory of the PRR in the Philly area.

The Philadelphia Chapter of the Pennsylvania Railroad Technical & Historical Society (PRRT&HS), a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation, is a qualified independent 501(c)(3) Chapter of the Society. The Chapter was formed by members of the society interested in the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR). The Chapter strives to preserve the history and memory of the Pennsylvania Railroad operations in the greate

r Philadelphia area. It publishes the “High Line” magazine, the “Keystone Chronicles” and also issues newsletters to its membership. The Chapter meets about six times a year, usually in the suburban Philadelphia area (Drexel Hill). Meetings consist of a short business discussion, new topics of interest in the area, and a presentation on some aspect of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Several vendor and exhibit tables are always on display offering photographs, literature and railroad memorabilia - an opportunity to enhance your collection. Almost half of our membership is actively involved in modeling, collecting and preserving PRR equipment and images. The active information interchange between members and that offered to the public through our publications and internet activity, is greatly enhanced by the many long time rail fans and former PRR employees among our membership. Chapter members possess many areas of interest, experience and expertise. Persons with a sincere interest in the PRR are invited to join the Philly Chapter, through this page or the Chapter website at www.philaprrths.com
