Wilmington Chapter
National Railway Historical Society

 

 

The National Railway Historical Society (NRHS) is an exciting way to become involved with railroading past and present. The Wilmington Chapter has put together this site to provide information about their chapter. Why not consider joining the NRHS today. Railroading is fun for the whole family.

 

 

Special Announcement:

 

Dear Wilmington Chapter streetcar patron:
 
The Wilmington Chapter regrets to announce that the streetcar charter scheduled for November 11, 2007, has been postponed due to issues regarding contracts under SEPTA's new tariffs. We will have these worked out eventually, so the work car trip will now be rescheduled as SUPER SATURDAY STREETCAR SPECIAL XV for February 2, 2008.
 
CREDIT CARD CUSTOMERS
You are automatically signed up for the Super Saturday trip. If you aren't sure you can make it on the new date you have until January 1, 2008, to cancel and we'll send you a refund (and we'll miss you!).
 
CHECK CUSTOMERS
We normally hold checks until the streetcar trip is a firm "go" but holding your checks until February may result in "stale check" issues with your bank or ours. If you know now that you will be joining us on February 2, we'll deposit the check we currently have in the next couple of weeks and you'll be signed up. If you can't join us or aren't sure, let us know and we'll return your check. Anyone who hasn't told us one way or the other by November 30 will have their check returned at that time.
 
DANG! I HAVE NOVEMBER 11 SET ASIDE FOR A TRIP
I'd recommend riding the Erie Lackawanna Dining Car Preservation Society's trip from Scranton to Anaolmink on November 11. The trip will be powered by New York & Greenwood Lake's Erie E8 No.833. Information can be found at www.eldcps.org .
 
SUPER SATURDAY STREETCAR SPECIAL XV
We'll have our Super Saturday trip on the day before the Super Bowl, on Saturday, February 2, 2008. The plan is to do the work car charter we had planned for 11/11. Details are the same - depart Elmwood Depot at 11:00.
 
Thanks for your understanding. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
 
Sincerely,
 
Steve Barry
