The North American Railcar Operators Association (NARCOA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and safe, legal operation of railroad equipment historically used for maintenance of way purposes.

The organization is primarily composed of those who own and operate a personal railcar speeder.

These services include: NARCOA affiliated regional clubs conduct rail excursions for owners to operate their cars.

Participation fees vary, with areas such as Mexico's Copper Canyon attracting interest as "the ultimate speeder trip.

A general Railfan interest, willingness to adhere to safety rules, a mechanical ability to restore and maintain a rail motorcar, and some knowledge of railroad operations are characteristics of most NARCOA members.

A nominating committee selects candidates for association offices, including directors, president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer.
