NRHS Winchester Chapter

Welcome to the NRHS Winchester Chapter’s YouTube Channel!

The Winchester Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society is a not for profit 501(c)(3) organization. We’re a group open to anyone who likes trains! Our focus is to discuss the past, present, and future of railroading in the Winchester, Virginia, area. We were founded in 1967, and ever since then, we’ve supported railroad preservation around Winchester, inspiring a new generation of railfans, and have educated the public about railroad history.  

Railroads have played a crucial role in the development of the United States, and the Winchester area is no exception. Railroads spent decades serving Winchester’s people and industries, and because of its location, transported soldiers in the American Civil War. While passenger rail disappeared from Winchester in the early 1950s, the area’s biggest industries are still served by railroads.
