The National Railway Historical Society was formed in 1935 to preserve and document railroad history. The regional Pacific Northwest Chapter is one of more than 170 local chapters of the NRHS. Our local chapter was formed in 1955 in Portland, Oregon. We are affiliated with Powerland Heritage Park, and have a few pieces of historic rail equipment on display on the grounds. We help support on-campus events. We have a library and archives in Portland.
