Retired Community Events
\n________________________________________<\/p>\n

What to Expect<\/p>\n

Attendees can expect conversation, camaraderie, and a shared love for the railway. RBF’s Retired Rail Community events are hosted by dedicated volunteers from the industry. Because they are part of the railway family, they understand and embrace its ethos. On certain dates, RBF hosts speakers and offers tours that cover everything about rail.<\/p>\n

Hear From Our Guests<\/p>\n

“I loved working on the railways and wanted to feel part of it again. At these events, I can talk shop and take a trip down memory lane. Thank you, RBF!”<\/p>\n

“Connecting with like-minded railway colleagues puts a spring back in my step, especially when we debate which is better: steam or diesel! You’ve created such a warm and friendly space\u2014long may it continue.”<\/p>\n
