This files contains the Association of American Railroads "Teachers Kit: Railroad Transportation" and correspondence from the Catalina Council of the Boy Scouts of America concerning Railroading month, April 1951.

The Railroading Merit Badge was first established in 1952 and has been earned by more than 189,000 scouts. Scouting has a long history of encouraging the scouts to learn about railroads, railroad history and railroading as well as learning about the hobby of model railroading. Scouts used these educational kits, produced by the Association of America Railroads and additional information provided by the Boy Scouts of America to earn their Railroad Merit badge. To earn the Railroading merit badge, Scouts must demonstrate a general knowledge of the railroad industry, train engineering and design, and an understanding of railway safety precautions.
