Welcome to the customized Social Network of The Akron, Canton and Youngstown Railroad Historical Society.
We are launching a community site to bring together AC&Y fans from around the world. The idea is to build knowledge and fellowship by creating an online destination where like-minded people want to hang out.It is believed that one of the most useful aspects of social networking sites is education.
A social network service focuses on building online communities of people who share interests and/or activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. When used properly, social networks can be a great way to enhance knowledge. Everyone talks about how knowledge is the important asset. But it has to be applied to be useful. Effectiveness of knowledge is multiplied if it's in the form of a conversation where people can educate each other.
These Services are coming soon! Please join us also on...

Blog Archive1 January Back in October, Melanie and I went to New York City for my day job. On the way back, we made a slight detour and stopped at Steamtown in Scranton Pennsylvania. If you haven't gone there, you should! It is very cool place for the rail enthusiast, and has a little bit for everyone. We stopped there to specifically to find AC&Y 304. We asked the Park Ranger/Tour Guide where she was and he did not know! He asked several people and sent us in a direction where many old carcasses are at rest. We found her in a pretty bad state! We took a bunch of pictures, and I will be doing an article on the Presevered ACY portion of this site soon. 1 January

Happy New Year! I am delighted to extend my warmest greetings to you at the start of another year. I want to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year. This is always a hopeful time, as we celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another. We must also look back on this past year with the knowledge that brighter days are ahead of us – that although our challenges are great, each of us has the courage and determination to rise up and meet them. It is that spirit that has kept our dreams and passions alive, and it is that spirit that will keep the Akron, Canton & Youngstown Railroad Historical Society thriving and successful for years to come.©1999-2013 AC&Y Historical Society.
