About the Rappahannock Chapter
RF&P at the Chapter

The Rappahannock Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society is dedicated to the preservation of historical railroad equipment in the Fredericksburg area.  All are welcome to attend our meetings.  We provide education to the public in regard to railroad lines and related events in our area. The chapter keeps its railroad equipment at 11700 Main Street in the Spotslyvania County Industrial Park just off of US Route 2/17 south of Fredericksburg. Map to the Rappahannock Chapter's Equipment Visitors are welcome to tour our equipment on Saturdays from 9AM to 12 Noon.

Members receive our monthly publication The Mail Pouch that outlines chapter events and railroad related news in our area.

Meetings are held on the second Thursday of every month at the Central Rappahannock Library, located at 2607 Salem Church Road in Fredericksburg, VA. Meetings promptly start at 7:00 PM.
