Just a Short Line: Best Photo Finds
The Story of the Rahway Valley Railroad

by Richard J. King

virtual presentation for the Tri-State Railway Historical Society
Tuesday, November 29, 2022 | 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 will share some of the best photography of the Rahway Valley he has come across in his searching. "The “best” photos are rare finds, high quality, or just photos with a good story behind them. There will be early color (both steam and diesels), photos from well-known photographers and railfans, and lots of good stories.

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.
