Activities & Mission

BORHT was formed in 1984 to bring to the public attention the way that Britain exported railways and railway equipment to virtually every country in the world. It ensures the preservation of items of outstanding historical merit, and promotes the study of the history of railways in the Commonwealth outside the UK, and of the British contribution to railways in other parts of the world.
