The Orrville Railroad Heritage Society is holding a event in September. Come down and see the equipment including the 805.

As always the Orrville Railroad Heritage Society is looking for the next willing and hardworking volunteers to help take a organization forward and keep teaching and demonstrating railroad history as a operating museum. If the railroad isn't your thing the Depot is always looking for willing ambassadors to conduct tours and many other cool aspects of the organization. Stop out at our next events days to learn more or visit Orrvillerailroad.com.

Over the past couple of weeks. Volunteers at the ORHS have worked and inspected internals, High Voltage cabinets, Traction motors/Leads and engine internals and Turbo. In the next couple weeks watch for a announcement as we proceed with a pre l**e and possible start up. We would also like to thank the mechanical department members for giving us the used batteries from the 471.
