2020 DIRECTORY OF RAIL ATTRACTIONS OFFERING DISCOUNTS TO NRHS MEMBERS Compiled by Wesley and Shirley Ross The 2020 Discount List marks the 20th Anniversary of the List and our 20th Anniversary of producing the document. We had hoped for a large list, with new attractions, this year; but fate changed everything. We began working on the development of the list in January and, at that time, believed that the Covid 19 would run a regular course. You know what happened. Many of the responses came in early, when most people were still thinking that the virus would be temporary. Unfortunately, the Pandemic came upon us and many attractions did not respond for one reason or another. Time has passed and the situation is still unclear if and when attractions will be able to reopen.

Above right: Steam locomotive Number 2248 rests beside the depot at Grapevine, Texas, awaiting the morning assignment. NRHS presents this list with the understanding that NONE of the museums or operations listed here has indicated that it is open for business. It is our sincere hope that all of the operations and museums will be able to reopen in the near future. Please check with any entity listed before you plan to go there to ensure that they are open and to learn of any special requirements for visitors to the site. Many of the attractions offer free admission. Also, you may want to consider making a donation to the group. If 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.
