Goals / Remit
FEDECRAIL represents 650 railways and railway museums in 26 countries in the European Union and beyond which aim to save and preserve our railway environment and to show its impact on our cultural and social history.
All this has been achieved by the commitment of individuals prepared to spend time and money restoring railway artefacts and buildings to their former glory. Operating trains requires teamwork, and administration is usually implemented through organisations whose constitutions prohibit the distribution of profit, thus ensuring that any surplus is reinvested in the heritage railway.
What is FEDECRAIL?
In many countries, these voluntary bodies have banded together to form umbrella organisations to promote their common interests on a national level. These in turn have joined forces to form FEDECRAIL, the European Federation of Museum and Tourist Railways.
FEDECRAIL is constituted under the Belgian law. Its members are the national umbrella organisations fro (...)Main EU files targeted
