The Railway Luncheon Club visits a place of railway interest each month (except January), generally on the third Wednesday, followed by a meal at a nearby venue. Visits are made to railway stations and other railway locations usually within the Sydney metropolitan area but with an occasaional overnight venture further afield. Being conducted mid-week, it is particularly aimed at those members who may wish to go on shorter tours and just meet over lunch with those of similar interests. Generally public transport is used and informative field notes are usually provided.

Members of the Australian Railway Historical Society and guests are welcome to attend the outings. Details of future events will be published on this website and in the ARHS Member's Newsletter each month. The outings are an informal affair and there is no need to book for day outings, just turn up. However bookings are essential on overnight visits which are usually limited in numbers.

The Luncheon Club outings are intended to be complementary to the ARHSnsw tours program

Details of past Luncheon Club meetings are presented here together with a report on the visit and notes where available.
Notes from past outings will be added to this page progressively.
