Mission: To educate the student body and advance their enjoyment and understanding of model railroads.

The second-oldest continuously operating student organization at Penn State meets twice per week in Research Lab A at University Park. It has completed four of the six sections of a modular model railroad, which can be transported in pieces to other locations: Members took part of it to the HUB last fall. The club goes on monthly outings to historical railroad sites and attracts students interested in engineering, art, and history. “It’s a lot more than just trains,” says president Max Harris.
