This site is designed to aid member museums and others interested in railway preservation.

Railways played a key role in the development of communities across the United States and Canada. Railway museums large and small across North America interpret this exciting and pivotal history. And the Association of Railway Museums helps these museums exchange information with each other and improve professional standards.
