The Association "Friends of the Railroad of Thessaloniki" (AFRTh), is a non lucrative association aiming to preserve the raiload history and tradition, and to promote the development of the raiload in Greece.

It has been established in 1984 by a group of Greek Railroad Staff and non railworkers friends, after the sale of three locomotives to an English private company.

The AFRTh counts now more than 100 members from every profession.

The AFRTh is supported by the Organisation of Railroads of Greece and many sponsors.

The principal Action of the Association is the effort to open the "Museum of Railroad in Thessaloniki".

In hope to improve this page soon, please have a look on some of the railroad jewels of Thessaloniki.
