Bluewater NRHS provides the
residents of the State of
Michigan the experience of
railroad passenger travel.
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.
Bluewater's excursion program offers an experience of living history
and gives passengers a railroad perspective on Michigan's historic
development.
In addition to excursions, the Chapter's mission includes:
Coach maintenance and fleet upgrading at the former C&O roundhouse
in Saginaw, Michigan
Maintenance of the Chapter's historical archives and library
Promotion of railroad grade crossing safety through participation in the
Association of American Railroads' "Operation Lifesaver" program
Sponsorship of railroad memorabilia shows

Roundhouse Volunteer Opportunity

Volunteer Opportunity:

Bluewater Michigan Chapter is looking for a few good helpers.  In
preparation for our moving out of the Saginaw Roundhouse, we are
sorting, packing and moving our tool crib.  Items that we are keeping
are being loaded into the Bluewater Baggage car.  This project is
being spearheaded by BMC Board and chapter member Roger
Webster.  He has spent the last 6 weeks planning the move and
making space in the baggage car.  Now he needs help moving the
larger cabinets, tools and other items.  His schedule for June
includes Sunday June 7, and Saturday and Sunday June 13 & 14, and
Saturday June 27.  Please email or call CMO Bill Harman at
989-860-3900 to let me know that you will be helping.
