Bluewater NRHS provides the residents of the State of
Michigan the experience of railroad-related events.
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:
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
