- About the Chapter
The Philadelphia Chapter of the
PRRT&HS (a Pennsylvania non-profit corporation) is
- in the process of becoming a qualified
independent 501(c)(3) Chapter of the Society.
- The Chapter was formed in the summer of 1976 by members of the society
interested in the PRR’s activities, specifically
- in
the Philadelphia area.
The Chapter strives to preserve the history and memory of the Pennsylvania Railroad operations in the
greater 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.
