| Who We Are |
Based
in the southern suburbs of Chicago -- Today's well-chronicled events are the historical record for tomorrow. Therefore, we are also documenting today's railroading as well. |  |
The Blackhawk Chapter holds monthly meetings that are open to the public and feature programs about railroading's fascinating past, interesting present and encouraging future. We
publish a bi-monthly newsletter, the Spike & Tie,
that covers local railroad news and history, along
with updates
on Blackhawk Chapter meetings, projects, special events, news and business. An NRHS chapter since 1969, the Blackhawk Chapter includes working and retired professional railroaders, historians, railfans and those who simply enjoy trains. If this describes you, we invite you to join us. We work with local communities, groups, historical societies, other organizations and the press in developing and promoting events and projects that recognize the railroad's significance and history. See our projects page to see what the Blackhawk Chapter is doing to preserve railroad history and promote railroading's future. |
