The New York Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society meets monthly except for July and August. Our regular meeting date is the first Monday of each month, September through June.
This meeting will be virtual only, via Zoom. Our regular meeting room at St. Margaret's House on Fulton Street in Manhattan will be under construction for a year or more, so for now we will be meeting only via Zoom. Entertainment at the November 2 meeting will be by Chapter member and Director Gregory Homatas, who will cover the 2026 NRHS National Convention in Cleveland. Originally, Gary Kazin and Gregory Homatas were planning jointly to present their material from the Convention; unfortunately, Gary was involved in a bicycle accident and although he is recovering after surgery, he will be unable to present his portion; Greg has volunteered to expand his planned coverage. We wish Gary a speedy recovery. Topics included are Cleveland rapid transit; the Marion, Ohio Union Station; the Mad River & Nickel Plate Railroad Museum; Norfolk Southern's Bellevue,Ohio Terminal; the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad; the Midwest Railway Preservation Society's shops; the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum; a tour of the Wabtec Locomotive Factory. and a short historic video of the Columbus, Delaware (Ohio) and Marion Railway, the interurban line whose station is now a restaurant visited during the Convention.
