PACIFIC RAILROAD SOCIETY is one of the oldest rail enthusiast organizations in the United States.

Train travel, history, preservation, equipment restoration and photography are among the interests and activities of the Society. The Society is run entirely by volunteers.
IF YOU ENJOY RAILROADS & RAIL TRAVEL, PACIFIC RAILROAD SOCIETY IS FOR YOU!
The PRS is relocating the National Forum to another storage space. The cost of renting space from Amtrak in Los Angeles has gone up and no longer affordable. The PRS is looking at several locations here in Southern California and one location out of state. These are trying times for the PRS. We will do all we can to either preserve the National Forum or keep it running. Help us to do this by visiting our donation page, link below. Thank you.

Support the Historic Santa Fe Cantilever Signal Bridge Project. UPDATE:
The Pacific Railroad Society supports the Historic Santa Fe Cantilever Signal Bridge Project headed by Mr. Paul LaCiura. Unfortunately, the City of San Dimas no longer supports erecting the Santa Fe cantilever signal bridge in Rhoads Park, San Dimas. We were not able to raise enough funds to match the city's threshold for their companion funds. We are redirecting our efforts to place the signal bridge at Travel Town, Los Angeles. Though we won't be able to place the signal bridge next to our headquarters, we still want to preserve it at an appropriate location. Travel Town is a marvelous railroad exhibit place with the potential of having the signal bridge being viewed by thousands of more people than what would have happened at San Dimas. Our goal of preserving this historic piece of industrial architecture remains. It will serve as a monument to railroad's influence on the historical development of the San Gabriel Valley. The PRS is now collecting donations for this redirected project which will enhance Travel Town and Griffith Park, Los Angeles. PRS Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization which promotes historic preservation and education on the railroad's role in history and society in general.
