Cost/Tickets/Registration

Celebrate Women’s History Month by learning about the stories of the women who shaped train travel. From transportation to communications and hospitality to innovation, women have not received the attention and credit they deserve in the history of the American railroad. In uniforms or overalls or working in isolated train depots or attaining patents for safer trains, all were gutsy gals who made a difference. Join this virtual ride and travel with some of these determined, hard-working women.
