Join the Friends of the Railroad Museum

The Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania non-profit organization, chartered in 1983, supports the Railroad Museum in its mission to “save the trains and educate the public” through our efforts in visitor services, the library and archives, an active equipment acquisition, conservation and restoration program, the challenging and popular Stewart Junction railway education center…and so much more.

We need your help to carry on this proud and powerful legacy. Won’t you join the Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania today?
