| Membership Renewal Process Changes
For 2015, members should have received two separate renewal notices – one from the Potomac Chapter and one from the national NRHS. Members will need to make separate payments to the Potomac Chapter and national NRHS.
You should have received your Potomac Chapter notice in November. Members and Associates should return the renewal form with their check by December 31.
Members of the national NRHS should have received a renewal notice from the national organization in early December. Potomac Chapter Associates aren’t members of the national NRHS and won’t receive a renewal notice from them. |

Requiem for a CPL - CSX Baltimore
On May 17, 2014, CSX crews dismantled the color position light (CPL) signal bridge, dwarfs, and masts at the Bailey's Wye interlocking in downtown Baltimore. Chapter members John and Stephen Sery made a video to document the moment and pay tribute to those long-standing sentinels of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
