Who We Are

The Bullthistle Model Railroad Society, Inc. is dedicated to preserving the Railroad heritage of our community.

We are creating participatory and educational exhibits including visual displays designed to depict the effect of railroads on the people and economy of Chenango County. In one exhibit we will recreate the New York Ontario & Western railroad yard in Norwich, NY.

In time, we intend to enlarge this layout to include the portion of the NYO&W railroad from Norwich to Cadosia, NY. It is our intention to generate interest in the railroad influence in our county's history through the use of these models as well as visual displays, printed information and guided tours of our facility.
