2011 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.

The Lackawanna & Wyoming Valley Railway Historical Society is pleased to announce that our 2011 Railway Calendar is now available for mail orders. This is the 32st annual edition of the calendar. The 2011 calendar has fifteen color photos from throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. This was a special edition produced in conjunction with the 2010 National Railway Historical Society Annual Convention in Scranton. We consider it to be the best calendar we have produced in our history, and hope that you might purchase a copy as you have done in the past.
