2009 Calendar
As an annual project and fund raiser, the Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Rail Historical Society puts together a calendar, featuring photographs of local rail lines. The photos are from the collections of members of the chapters. Everything from steam, traction and interurban, diesels and local landmarks have been in past calenders as well as some current photos.

Purchase of this calendar helps the Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley Railway Historical Society accomplish many goals. We are donating books on local railroad history to public libraries throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. We hope to continue the donation of books and videos as long as there are quality materials available to do so. We are also considering the publication of a video of local rail history.
The 2009 Calendar can be ordered at $6.75, via First Class Mail.
