Railroad & Shortlines Club of Chicago

7:30 pm Central Daylight Time
Friday, October 20, 2023

Do not arrive before 7:15 pm.

Our next meeting will be both an in-person meeting and a Zoom meeting; the Zoom meeting invitation is at the end of the message. If enough people from outside the Chicago area attending Zoom meetings become Club members, this will encourage the Club to make hybrid meetings a permanent feature. Dues are $20 which includes four glossy newsletters sent by mail. The dues renewal is sent with the fourth newsletter. We still have slide shows which will not be presented via Zoom.

Here are details about joining Railroad & Shortlines Club of Chicago:

Bill Gustason is one of the leading experts on the Indiana Harbor Belt. He's given us IHB programs in the past, typically in the fall. In fact, Bill's IHB program was the very first program presented at Railroad & Shortlines Club of Chicago. We are looking forward to having him back.
