The New York Susquehanna & Western Technical & Historical Society Inc. was formed in the fall of 1988 by several longtime observers of the railroad who felt that there was a need for an organization to preserve the history of the "Susquehanna, its ancestor corporations and the rich railroading history of New Jersey.

Since that time, the Society has grown to over 550 members from 30 states, Canada and New Zealand. The society is incorporated in the state of New Jersey as a non-profit educational organization. It is also recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt organization, as defined in section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The society operates the Delaware River Railroad Excursion home of New Jersey's only operating Steam Locomotive. The Delaware River Railroad Excursions is run entirely by volunteers and is now in its 11th year of operation bringing close to 100,000 visitors a year to its beautiful grounds on the Delaware River in Phillipsburg, New Jersey.
