The Michiana Division is the birthplace of the NMRA EduTRAIN training program. EduTRAIN is based on a methodology for developing courses (clinics) based on many years of experience in government, industry, the military and education that is proven to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and skills. This methodology will provide higher quality and greater consistency for all clinics included in the NMRA EduTRAIN® brand.

In addition to scheduled meetings, the NMRA Michiana Division also hosts regular model railroad operating sessions at members’ home layouts. We host “photo safaris” where division members go on trips around the area to photograph railroad equipment, structures (particularly older structures), and infrastructure, along with modelable scenes. Many of our members have an interest in building Freemo modules so that they can run them at our annual Education and Training Conference and Workshops.

The NMRA Michiana Division Counties include: Berrien and Cass in southwestern Michigan and Lake, Porter, LaPorte, St. Joseph, Elkhart, Stark, Marshall, Newton, Jasper, Pulaski, and Fulton in northwestern Indiana.
