Welcome to the West Wisconsin Railroad Club

Based in the Chippewa Falls - Eau Claire, WI area we gather often to enjoy our common interest of trains and model railroading. Sadly we recently lost our permanent home but are looking for a new one. See our meeting schedule at the top right on this page. Visit us some time.

Our existing layout has been disassembled and stored. We also have a large modular portable layout that we take to shows. Bylaws have been written and adopted and we have been granted 501c3 status by the IRS so tax deductible donations may be made to the club.

What about membership? We are open to new members, male and female, youth and adult. For more information please go to our Membership page for details.

Name that Structure Quiz

Pictures for the "Name that Structure" quiz are needed. Let's keep this to railroad structures located in the West Wisconsin area as first choice and other Wisconsin railroad structures when we run out of them.

Submit your guess to the club webmaster. (See Contact Us for the email address.) Specify the location of the structure and the railroad that owns it, if known. Your guess and name (optional) will be listed here.
