R&LHS Railroad History Award Winners

The awards program was inaugurated in 1982 under the society's presidency of William Withuhn. This list was compiled to the year 2000 by Tom Taber in the course of his indexing of the R&LHS Newsletter, and then continued to the current year by Adrian Ettlinger.
