The Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce helped to land the 2015 National Railway Historical Society (NRHS) Convention that will be based in Rutland, Vermont from June 14, 2015 to June 20, 2015 plus a Father’s Day Special public excursion on June 21, 2015.
Vermont Rail System, the Saratoga & North Creek Railroad, and timeless New England charm headline the National Railway Historical Society’s 2015 convention in Rutland, Vermont. Taking place June 14-20, 2015, the convention will feature seven days of rare train rides, one-of-a-kind photo opportunities and historic tours, followed by a public rail excursion on June 21.
Highlighting the 2015 convention are specially chartered passenger trains over the colorful and historic Vermont Railway System — many traveling freight-only routes and featuring photo runbys. Roundhouse and facility tours are also planned. Vintage locomotive fans will savor an excursion on the Saratoga & North Creek Railroad pulled by 1940s-era BL2 diesels, of which only a handful survive.
Purchase Tx for Special Father’s Day Ride open to the public on Sunday, June 21st from Downtown Rutland to Ludlow, VT.
