Membership information<\/h2>\n

\"Group<\/a><\/p>\n

The VRA publishes a quarterly newsletter called “The DIGEST<\/font><\/a>“, holds quarterly meetings at the St. Clements Church<\/a> in Hawthorne, maintains this website and gets involved in all kinds of railroad projects. We offer our members the chance to learn how to operate motorcars in a safe and enjoyable manner. Once they have passed our test, many have moved on to get their qualifications and insurance. We run yearly events for the enjoyment of our members like picnics, parties and motorcar outings, most at little or no cost to the individual. As a member of the VRA you are our first priority.<\/p>\n

To become a member of the VRA costs just $20 per year and for that you get everything above plus the chance to get closer to railroading than you ever thought possible. What­ever you can think of when it comes to railroading, we probably offer it – and if we don’t now, with your help we may in the future. Take a moment to fill out our membership form<\/a> and start getting your hands dirty.<\/p>\n

We welcome anyone who wants to be involved in RAIL­ROAD­ING. If you feel strongly about railroad historical preser­vation and restoration please get involved<\/strong><\/u>.<\/p>\n

As our slogan says “SO CLOSE, ONLY THE PAYCHECK IS MISSING<\/em><\/strong>.” We get dirty, we get tired, we have fun.<\/p>\n
