The Society holds an annual Conference that includes our annual membership meeting. The annual meeting is like that of any other historical society with reports by the officers and the results of an annual mail ballot election. It also provides for input and discussion by the membership.
The annual meeting is part of a several day conference devoted to presentations and field trips related to the narrow gauge railroads of the SP.
Presentations in the past have covered modeling the railroad, history of the railroad, reports of field trips and observations.
Field trips have involved right-of-way exploration trips, visits to museums and other historic sites, and when available a historic train ride (or two). The field trips are a way of sharing individual knowledge to the membership.
Convention dates are from Thursday June 18 to Saturday June 20, 2026. We will have evening meetings at the Banquet room, El Capitan Casino, on Thursday and Friday. Expect the weather to be hot.
On Friday, we will explore the east shore of Walker Lake, and the Walker River Reservation. Please bring lunch, water, snacks, and toiletries.
On Saturday, we will explore Luning, Mina, and Soda Springs. Please bring lunch, water, snacks, and toiletries.
Please download the registration form and mail it to our post office box. Registrations must be received prior to May 3, 2026
