PHILADELPHIA – The National Railway Historical Society has announced a new program to recognize railroads for their efforts in railway preservation. The Society is partnering with Railway Age and Railway Track & Structures magazines to honor and recognize a North American common carrier railroad for a historically significant preservation project completed or put into operation within the last 5 years.
“The National Railway Historical Society has established its interest in rail history and preservation through our Historic Grants program, and saving and sharing media,” said Tony White, NRHS president. “We are excited to partner with Railway Age and Railway Track & Structures magazines to recognize a significant North American railroad preservation project. As our mission is to preserve railroad history in all its forms, we developed this award to honor a railroad for its efforts in railroad preservation. I look forward to hearing from our members – and Railway Age and RT&S subscribers – about what they think best exemplifies the spirit of railroad preservation today.”
The nomination period is open until July 31, 2023. NRHS members and Railway Age and RT&S subscribers may nominate their favorite railroad preservation project using the form on the NRHS website.
