The Bluewater Michigan Chapter of the National Railway
Historical Society (Bluewater NRHS for short), has been organized
to preserve American railroad history, especially in the State of
Michigan.
About Us:
Bluewater owns,
preserves and operates several historic rail passenger coaches for
use on passenger excursion trains.
The Chapter was established in
1982, by 22 founding members who met in a Royal Oak,
Michigan hobby shop.
Both Chapter and Historical Society
operate as entirely volunteer, non-profit and tax-exempt
organizations.
