Visit the Museum on select Days in May, June, and September and climb aboard a caboose to experience an old-fashioned, relaxing way of spending a Sunday afternoon with the family. Children love swaying to the motion of the old cars while they listen to the “clickety-clack” sounds the wheels make as they clatter over the rail joints.
Trips are at 1, 2, 3, and 4 PM on all ride days.

Our Excursion Train Rides are part of a fundraising effort to benefit the Museum, a non-profit organization comprised of New Jersey-related rail and transportation equipment and artifacts, staffed by volunteers. Donations from the public help to keep the Museum operational, but funds are still needed to support this unique New Jersey treasure. Proceeds from the excursions further enhance the Museum’s Mission and its Historic Preservation efforts.
