WHY JOIN THE NHRHTA?
For over the past 60 years, the NHRHTA has dedicated itself to the accumulation, tabulation, and distribution of historical, educational, and technical data specifically related to the NewYork, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company and its predecessors. We catalog and provide information on rolling stock, motive power, trackage, all types of structures, and general historical background material through its premier publications, products and various partnerships with other companies and associations.
By becoming a member of the NHRHTA, you will receive access to a wealth of information through our premier publications, the Shoreliner® & SpeedWitch® magazines, which are filled with articles, photos, diagrams, and first-hand accounts of well researched topics on the New Haven Railroad, its predecessors and the areas they served. In addition, the NHRHTA has recently launched its new Online Archives which will provide members with access to a growing selection of New Haven Railroad and NHRHTA-related documents, photographs, videos, and reference materials - anywhere and anytime.
The NHRHTA also sponsors an Annual Convention, typically on the Saturday after Labor Day and is held at a location that was served by the New Haven. Please click here for details.
