Staying Informed, Staying Connected

At the National Association of Retired & Veteran Railway Employees (NARVRE), we believe that knowledge is power. The world around us changes rapidly—laws are revised, policies shift, benefits are reviewed, and communities evolve. For retired and veteran railway employees, staying informed is more important than ever. That is why our News & Articles section exists: to keep every member connected to the latest developments, inspiring stories, and valuable insights.

This page is not just a bulletin—it is a living archive of information, reflection, and advocacy for the railway retiree community.

Legislative & Policy Updates

One of the most critical parts of our News & Articles section is dedicated to legislative updates. As guardians of retirement and pension benefits, NARVRE actively monitors government decisions that may affect our members.

Through timely news releases, we keep members updated on:

Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) announcements.
Proposed legislation that could impact pensions and healthcare.
Federal and state policies related to veterans and retirees.
Advocacy efforts led by NARVRE to safeguard benefits.

By publishing clear, accessible articles, we ensure that members do not miss important information that directly affects their financial security and quality of life.

Stories from the Rail Community

Beyond legislation, our news platform also highlights personal stories and experiences from railway veterans across the country. These articles celebrate the lives, careers, and contributions of members who spent decades working on America’s railroads.

From inspiring memoirs of long journeys to reflections on how the rail industry has evolved, these stories are a reminder of the rich heritage and proud legacy that all NARVRE members share.
