Conventions

In 1992 our chapter sponsored the NRHS 1992 National Convention in San Jose. This week-long event resulted in three mainline steam locomotives coming to San Jose and Milpitas to pull a series of excursions in and around the Bay Area. The excursions were seen by thousands of people and received extensive media coverage. It was no surprise when that year's convention was deemed one of the most successful in the NRHS's history. 

Our chapter again hosted the National Convention in 1999, this time in Sacramento, and in conjunction with the Railroad & Locomotive Historical Society (R&LHS). 

In addition to these two great events our chapter also sponsors railfan excursions. Check our Excursion Info site for news on current railfan excursions.
