The CRHS is a growing, vibrant organization of more than 400 members, dedicated to the preservation of all things Conrail. Membership in the society brings many benefits, some tangible (like the Conrail Quarterly) and many more intangible (knowing that you're a part of keeping the story and equipment of Conrail alive).

Membership entitles you to a subscription to our highly-praised, full-color Conrail Quarterly magazine, as well as attendance privileges at members-only CRHS events. As always, you can buy discounted Conrail goods at our own Conrail Shoppe!

CRHS members assembled in front of SW7 #8905 just after it was rolled out of the B&O Museum’s shop for the first time after its restoration. The official unveiling took place during The CRHS’s 4th quarter 2019 membership meeting on November 2, 2019.
