Step back in time at the non-profit Whippany Railway Museum for a 45-minute, 10-mile round trip ride through Morris and Essex Counties. You'll travel the route of "The Whippanong Trail", where Washington's armies trod in the bitter Winter of 1779 - an area rich in our country's history.
The Museum's mid-1900s excursion train features a unique collection of restored vintage cabooses from historic rail lines that once served New Jersey and the Metropolitan area.
Upgrade your excursion experience by choosing to ride in the award-winning Lackawanna Railroad Subscription Club Car No. 2454, which radiated elegance on a train once known as 'The Millionaire's Express' that operated between Hoboken Terminal and Gladstone, NJ. Or chose the Central Railroad of New Jersey club car 'Jersey Coast', a beautifully-restored car that features all the amenities offered by the CNJ's deluxe Blue Comet passenger train of the 1930s. The Blue Comet ran between Jersey City and Atlantic City, NJ, and the striking paint scheme of cream and blue reminds one of a comet streaking through space.
