- NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION
-
- This post contains information on the Northern Pacific Railway Historical
- Association, our magazine THE MAINSTREETER, and our 1993 Convention.
- A membership application is included.
-
- We appreciate your interest in the Northern Pacific Railway Historical
- Association. The NPRHA's over 1000 members are dedicated to research,
- preservation, and modeling the Northern Pacific Railway.
- a) We publish THE MAINSTREETER magazine, a 32+ page quarterly magazine,
- as our main way of preserving information about the NP.
- b) We publish a calendar illustrated with NP photographs and highlighted
- with the dates of many important events in NP history.
- c) The NPRHA holds an ANNUAL CONVENTION at an important point along the line.
- d) The Association also produces original video tapes and color slide sets
- and offers a variety of clothing, hats, and other souvenir items. The video
- tapes show and discuss the operations of the NP using the experiences of
- veteran NP workers and historic films, photographs, and documents. All of
- those items are available from our Company Store.
-
- The MAINSTREETER MAGAZINE is produced using high quality photographic
- reproductions with articles written by NPRHA members. The magazine contains
- one to three articles per issue along with regular columns on modeling,
- collectibles, stories of the NP, plus general NPRHA and NP news. The success
- of this magazine has attracted many new members, swelling our membership over
- the 1000 mark.
-
- THE CONVENTION THIS YEAR will be in St. Paul, MN, on July 15-18, 1993 at the
- Kelly Inn and it will include historical clinics, NP prototype equipment, a
- swap meet, and a model contest. For REGISTRATION INFORMATION, write:
- NPRHA 1993 Convention
- 11810 52nd Avenue N.
- Plymouth, MN 55442-1820
- Last year, the convention was in Portland, Oregon, at Lewis and Clark College,
- on July 17-19, 1992, and we were treated to operation of the SP&S 700 4-8-4 in
- Northern Pacific livery as "NP 2668." That engine number follows the last of
- the NP's A-3 Northerns; the SP&S locomotive order directly followed the NP's
- and was constructed using the NP A-3 design.
-
- Regular association dues are $17.00 per year, with Sustaining Memberships
- available at $32.00 (includes 1st class postage and a contribution to the work
- of NPRHA). NP Veterans are eligible for the special rate of $10.00 per year,
- with full membership priviledges. Members receive four quarterly issues of The
- Mainstreeter Magazine and an NPRHA calendar. The calendar reproduces historic
- photographs and shows significant events in NP history. Calendars are
- available separately.
