Directions Website

Formed in 1936, the Baltimore Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society is the 3rd oldest NRHS chapter in the country.

An active part of the Baltimore rail enthusiast community, we preserve railroad history and enjoy today's railway scene. We are a non-profit educational and social group dedicated to enhancing the enjoyment and knowledge of and involvement with, railroading in an around the Baltimore region and elsewhere. As the nation’s first common carrier railroad, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, started here, Baltimore’s railroading history is rich. If you share our interest in trains and railroading, then we think our organization is for you. While our members have widely diversified tastes and involvement in railroading, they all share a deep commitment to the preservation of railroad history and artifacts, the hobby of railfanning, and even the restoration and operation of railroad equipment. SOCIAL & LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
Foremost in all our activities is the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. Our monthly meetings bring us together to share stories and news, reminisce, and plan future club events. We have videos, media programs or guest speakers every month. We also share a research library jointly with the Baltimore Streetcar Museum, which members of either organizations may use when open or by appointment.
