2021 DIRECTORY OF RAIL ATTRACTIONS FOR NRHS MEMBERS Compiled by Wesley and Shirley Ross The 2021 Directory marks the 21 st Anniversary of the list. This year the Directory will look slightly different because the National Railway Historical Society decided to try to help rail attractions across the country to deal with all of the problems they have encountered over the past year. In order to do that we decided to list any attraction that responded to our request and to provide free advertising to all of our members by means of the Directory. In addition, we indicated that attractions could still offer discounts to NRHS Members. It is our hope that by providing this list to NRHS members that they will examine the list and find attractions that they would like to visit this summer and fall.
PHOTOS COURTESY OF WESLEY ROSS ENJOY DINNER ONBOARD AT EAST TROY - The RIDE KENTUCKY STEAM ALL THE WAY - East Troy Railroad Museum’s Dinner Train is comprised Kentucky Railway Museum’s former L&N Pacific type of two former Chicago, South Shore & South Bend locomotive pounds the rail between New Haven and interurban cars that were reconfigured into dining cars, Boston, Kentucky. No. 25, the Ravenswood and No. 24, the Beverly Shores. NRHS is presenting this list with the understanding that the member using the List is responsible for checking with the museum, or operation listed, to confirm that they are open for business and their hours of operation. It is our sincere hope that all of the attractions are in operation or will be able to reopen in the near future. Also, please check for any special requirements for visitors to the site, or while on their trains. Many of the attractions offer free admission; however, you may make a donation to the group. In the event that you choose not to accept the NRHS discount, please be sure to indicate to the staff that you are an NRHS member and noticed their listing on the NRHS Directory.
