The Harrisburg Chapter welcomes new members who share our interest in rail transportation and history. Different membership levels are available based on your membership in our parent organization, the National Railway Historical Society (NRHS).

The Harrisburg Chapter’s membership year runs from January through December. Renewals are accepted through February. You may also make financial donations when applying for or renewing membership.

To join or renew, print out the membership application, complete it, and mail it along with a check to the address indicated on the form. Payment in full must accompany the application.
