NY Organizations

New York State is rich in organizations that support railroads, railroad history, preservation, museums, restoration of equipment and so much more. Some groups work with model trains, others the "full-size" models. The following list has been developed to direct others to the many opportunities available in the Empire State. Feel free to contact any of these organizations to discover the many varied interests that they represent. We are pleased to share this information with readers and are extremely interested in expanding this list. Please contact us should you discover other related groups and for any and all corrections. This list will never be complete, nor will it ever be 100% accurate so we need your assistance.
