Celebrate Grandparents’ Day at the Whippany Railway Museum ! Kids love spending time with their Grandparents, so grab the family and spend the afternoon of Sunday, September 7th riding our vintage train as it rolls along the route of the historic “Whippanong Trail”.
Bring your camera – there is a large assortment of restored rail cars and locomotives at the Museum site in Whippany, along with authentic railroad exhibits and an operating model railroad layout.
Passengers don’t just experience the train ride, they step into a world of America’s travel options from 100 years – or more – ago. That authenticity is part of the charm of the Whippany Railway Museum’s excursion trains – the Museum has a distinct niche with its vintage train that allows us to be a bit different from the rest.

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.
