Chapter membership has grown over the years to more than sixty members. The Chapter celebrated its 40th anniversary in November 2010. The Central Florida Chapter is committed to the collection, restoration, preservation and exhibition of railroad memorabilia and railroad history for the education and enjoyment of future generations, with a special focus on Central Florida. The Chapter’s extensive collection is housed and displayed at the Central Florida Railroad Museum in Winter Garden, Fl.
