WELCOME ABOARD!! WHETHER YOUR INTEREST IN RAILROADING CENTERS ON RAIL TRAVEL,
PHOTOGRAPHY, HISTORY, MODELS OR JUST A LOVE OF TRAINS,
MASS BAY RRE IS FOR YOU!

Massachusetts Bay Railroad Enthusiasts, Inc. is a non-profit [501(c)(3)]
educational corporation, organized for the promotion of public interest and
understanding of railroads. In Mass Bay RRE you'll find amateur and professional
railroaders who share your enthusiasm for the rails, and are quite willing to
share their experiences with you. Mass Bay RRE traces its beginnings to 1934,
when our founders sponsored what has been called the first "railfan trip" in the
United States on the now-abandoned Hoosac Tunnel & Wilmington Railroad. Since
then, we have sponsored hundreds of railfan excursions, many of them over
"freight only" tracks. Our trips have covered almost every past or present New
England rail route. Today, 89+ years after that "first fantrip", Mass Bay RRE
continues to organize specially-chartered excursion trains throughout New
England.

See our Membership Page for information about Mass Bay RRE membership and a
membership application. Mass Bay RRE members receive our newsletter, the
Callboy, which is published 10 times a year and features a compilation of
railroad industry news and features, as well as information on all upcoming Mass
Bay RRE train excursions, programs and activities.

Members also receive discounted fares and/or preferred seating for most Mass Bay
RRE train excursions and events. And, some smaller-capacity trips and events are
advertised only to our members. Your Mass Bay RRE membership card can be used
for discounted admission to selected New England tourist railroads and museums.
See our member benefits policy for a complete listing of member benefits.

We truly believe that much of the fun of a trip is in getting there - on the
train. This 19-minute video captures a variety of Mass Bay RRE' train

on a train excursion soon!

THE H. ALBERT WEBB MEMORIAL RAILROAD PRESERVATION AWARD

Mass Bay RRE member Leigh Webb created the H. Albert Webb Memorial Award in 2003
to recognize his father's love for New England railroading. Mass Bay RRE acts as
Mr. Webb's agent in soliciting applications for the award, reviewing the
completed applications, and administering the grants as they are used. A single
$10,000 award is made annually.

The Greenville Junction Depot Friends of Greenville, Maine is the recipient of
the 2023 Award, which funded construction of an accessible ramp & deck to
connect the former Bodfish, Maine, Canadian Pacific Section House to the
historic Greenville Junction Depot.

fund from members.Since its inception in 2016, the Mass Bay RRE Railroad
Preservation Fund has made grants totaling $175,000 to support the preservation
of New England's railroad history. See the Preservation Page for a complete
