Your membership gets you four issues of the popularly acclaimed Central Headlight, the official publication of the NYCSHS. Each issue contains a wealth of information each quarter. From steam to diesel (and electric), from freight to passenger, from branch line to mainline, and from the early days of Vanderbilt to the waning months of Young and Perlman, the Central Headlight covers it all. Our Annual Meetings are also an event not to be missed, focusing on the preservation of New York Central railroad history with informative speakers, presentations and tours. The Society also has many NYC reference books and drawings available for purchase. Members enjoy a 20% discount on many of the items offered in our NYCSHS “Collinwood Shop”. Membership is open to all, so don’t delay! |
Our membership year runs one calendar year from January 1 to December 31.
All International Memberships receive digital copy of Central Headlight, but to receive a print copy there is an additional charge.

I am changing my email address from rcanavello@cox.net to rcanavello@proton.me. Not sure how to do that on the website. Member number 7948. Thanks. ~Bob
Bob,
The link for that is on the “About NYCSHS” page and drop down to “Contact US”, but I have forwarded your change to the membership chair and it will be changed for you.
Thank you so much for doing that. Changing all email addresses on a variety of sites is a royal pain in a southernly location. Almost as hard as combining two large railroad companies, and that didn’t go well.. LOL Take care.
Hugh R Simpson Was a life time member from but have not been active since 2010. Am I still registered with the society. Would like to renew or start a new membership.
