of New Jersey, most specifically that of the New York Susquehanna & Western

around the world, at times numbering up to 500. The society is primarily funded
by its partnership in the Delaware River Railroad Excursions based out of
Phillipsburg. Easter Bunny, A Day Out With Thomas and The Polar Express train
rides are favorite themed events! The Society has three of the

its 20 piece collection of railroad equipment. If you are interested in
railroading there are many ways to get
involved. The Delaware River Railroad Excursions needs train crew and
maintenance personnel. Maywood Station needs caretakers and docents. There are
the meetings and publications to administer. At all sites there is always plenty
to do. Take your time and look around the site. Enter the chat
room, read some stories, or just browse through the many pictures. If you are
