Norfolk Southern

[NW Mailing List]

Whoever wrote this – well said.  In recent conversations with one of the well-known leads of another historical society –  a west coast railroad – the fellow said that folks become involved with organizations with some “current” content out of interest in what preceded the present situation.  The same may hold true for our society.  

 

The editorial content of the most recent Arrow got me to thinking – but I do not have any magic answers.  I actively recruit in my area for the NMRA and encounter the same issues of declining interest among younger folks in railroads in general and building things (vs. gaming on one’s phone).  

 

I for one will continue to be a member of the society even if the Arrow begins to include NS content.

[Norfolk Southern today is the window for younger folks to see  and learn about the Norfolk and Western.  We must look for ways to interest younger folks that never saw the N&W.   We must have younger members to keep the Society alive and well as  those of us who are older die off.  Other Societies such as the L&N do this.  We need to also do this.]
