virtual presentation for the Tri-State Railway Historical Society
Tuesday, March 28, 2023 | 7:30 PM

The Rahway Valley Railroad was a colorful short line that operated in northern New Jersey for much of the last century. For the past several years, author and historian (and Tri-State President) Richie King has been researching and collecting everything he can about this little railroad. In an effort to share what has been found, Tri-State will host occasional programs on the Rahway Valley Railroad in addition to the regularly scheduled monthly meetings.

In this program, King takes you on a tour of the railroad in the 1940s and 50s. The RV was a bustling little freight operation back then. In this presentation, you’ll take a ride along the RV’s 11.8-mile-long streak of rust, including the mainline, three branches, and three interchanges.

The virtual presentation begins on Zoom at 7:30 PM. Click here to register in advance for this webinar. Attendees need to register in advance for the webinar.
