Apart from the publishing of a Quarterly magazine, the society organises other events and activities as well. Among the regular events is a virtual monthly talk, normally on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 11.00 a.m. IST. In 2021, we organised our first International Conference in March. Other areas we have pursued are organising guided tours on interesting rail sections, visits to rail sites, publishing of books, training of volunteer guides for the National Rail Museum, debates and quizzes among school children, etc.
Watch this space for announcements of forthcoming events and activities.
NEXT TALK
The next talk shall take place at 11.00 hrs. (IST) on the 20th of April, 2025. There will be no talk in the month of March owing to the conduct of the 5th Global Conference.
5th Global conference: RAIL 200
Rail Enthusiasts’ Society invites you to join its 5th Global Conference being organised on the 8th and 9th of March 2025. The theme of the conference is RAIL 200. Renowned and knowledgeable speakers from Australia, Germany, UK, USA and, of course, India will tell you about the railways in the last 200 years and also delve into what we can expect in the future. Since the Indian Railways is commemorating the centenary of rail electrification, this subject is also covered.
A zoom link for this conference will be provided well before the conference itself. Participation is free but you will need to register. Only those registering will be sent the conference link.
