The Association was formed in 1964 to bring together all those interested in the Great North of Scotland Railway, throughout its history. The founders of GNSRA realised the need for a dedicated body devoted to the study of one specific railway, at a time when few such societies existed. More than sixty years later, much has been learned but - as new sources of information appear - new avenues of research continue to open up. There is still much to be unearthed. If you want to know more about the railways of this area at any period of their history, then you will find plenty to interest you on this website and in the publications of the Association. Or why not consider joining us? The Association has a proud record of original research and publishes much material about all aspects of the GNSR and its constituent lines.
