Welcome To The Official Website for The Niagara Frontier Chapter NRHS

2008 Niagara Frontier Chapter NRHS Calendars are now available!!!

The Niagara Frontier Chapter NRHS is one of the oldest chapters of the National Railway Historical Society.   Originally named the NRHS Buffalo Chapter, we received our charter on February 1, 1942.   Charter members were listed as Russell H. Shapley, John M. Prophet III, Charles A. Erler, and Albert D. Kerr.  Prior to 1942, we were the Buffalo Division of the Railroad Enthusiasts.

To better reflect our mission, the Chapter's name was changed on February 29, 1988 to Niagara Frontier Chapter NRHS, Inc.

On June 1, 2003 our long anticipated opening of our Railroad Museum of the Niagara Frontier was celebrated. Housed in the historic Erie Railroad Freight Depot in North Tonawanda, New York, our museum contains various railroad  artifacts which celebrate the rich heritage of railroading in the Niagara Frontier Region.  Visit the museum's web site at www.railroadniagara.com  for more details or simply click this box:
