Applications are typically sponsored by/worked in conjunction
with a local NRHS Chapter and are frequently done in conjunction
with a milestone event for that landmark, such as a rededication,
restoration, or a "birthday" (e.g. 75 or 100 years
old).
For additional information on working with the NRHS to recognize
a railroad landmark in your area, please contact
