The Roanoke Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society (NRHS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of railroading in the Roanoke Valley and beyond. Located in Roanoke, Virginia, the chapter was founded in 1967 and has since become one of the most active and well-respected railway historical societies in the state.

The chapter's primary mission is to educate the public about the rich history of railways and their impact on local communities. To accomplish this, the group offers a variety of educational programs and events, including lectures, tours of historic railway sites, and hands-on experiences with historical railway equipment.
