ALL ABOARD!
Join us on a journey of restoration and renewal.
The historic Rivers Train Station was built in 1917 and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2017. A dedicated group of local volunteers, railway enthusiasts, history buffs and area citizens joined together in 2006 to undertake the great task of revitalizing and restoring the station to its rightful place as a focal point of our community. Explore our website where we are chronicling the project. We invite you to get involved as a volunteer or supporter of this worthwhile endeavour.
