A single-ride temporary membership entitles you to ride for that day only, and does not include voting privileges.  You must be a member, or qualified spouse of a member to operate a railcar or hy-rail in any excursion on the Northern Central Railroad and on the Stewartstown Railroad.

MEMBERSHIP IN THE NCRA IS NOT NECESSARY TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY OTHER SPEEDER MEETS COORDINATED BY THE NCRA.   You will receive ride offerings on these other NCRA excursions regardless of your membership status.

 PLEASE NOTE:   Although there will be several scheduled and advertised events on the NCRR and the Stewartstown Railroad, most runs are set up a week or less in advance and are not advertised.   The NCRA has permission to ride both railroads on any two weekends in each month.   If you are interested in riding on a given date, contact the President or Secretary a week in advance to determine if other members are planning to run.   Many times a run can be set up if something wasn’t already planned.

 Membership in the NCRA is required before setting on at any NCRR or Stewartstown Railroad excursion. All release forms must be signed before setting on. NO EXCEPTIONS.
