Story

The Whippany Railway Museum has been bringing to life the history of New Jersey's railroads to the public since 1985. Offering family entertainment for young and old alike. Weekly excursions and events are a thrill for the whole family. Our Museum is opened Every Sunday from March to September Noon to to 4pm. Come see New Jersey's rich railroad history, lovingly restored and preserved by the all volunteer staff of the Whippany Railway Museum.

Come to the Whippany Railway Museum and relive rail travel from a bygone era. Our scheduled Excursion trains let you enjoy a ride in a vintage caboose, or lavish in the luxury of a first class club car. Our Easter bunny express lets you enjoy travel the way it was, and your kids will enjoy a visit from the Easter Bunny. In December climb aboard and enjoy the winter landscape of New Jersey from our heated coach cars, while Santa stops by to visit with you and your children. Wander our extensive grounds and see first hand our large collection of rail equipment, cars and engines. Lean about the rise of Steam rail transportation that started here in New Jersey.

You can find out about the museum, and its exhibits, as well as see a schedule of up coming train excursions on our official website. Tickets for the excursions are also available for purchase online from our website at http://www.whippanyrailwaymuseum.net

Nice selection of rolling stock. I was there when the museum was closed but they were running the Polar Express. Beautiful Maine Eastern locomotives.

There for the Pocono Garden railway meet. But a most interesting place to see. Lots of vintage rail cars, cabooses, and a steam engine. Many things there that need restoration. Go visit!

It's an okay train ride. If you have a kid who is less than 2 yrs. Of age, bring the stroller with you. It would be a big help.
