“The purpose of the American Industrial Railroad Society is to bring together those interested in the industrial railroad heritage of the United States, in order to preserve and educate the rich cultural significance of such. To effectuate this, the society will preserve, restore, and operate historic industrial railroad artifacts, and maintain a library of relevant books, paintings, and photographs. The society shall also hold meetings, discussions, events, and lectures regarding the history, theory, and operation of industrial railroads and associated equipment.”

-AIRS Mission

The American Industrial Railroad Society has several membership options designed to suit your needs! Our Active Membership will allow you to help turn wrenches and restore #4 to operation. Our Associate Membership is better suited to those who wish to support the project, but aren’t close enough to be ‘hands on.’

If you’d like to take the next step, please email us at contact@industrialrails.org From there, we can send you an application or answer any questions you may have about joining. We look forward to hearing from you!
