Father's Day 2021 Excursion Train Rides
For the first time since October 2019, the Whippany Railway Museum is pleased to offer Excursion Train Rides—Father’s Day, June 20. The trains depart for a 45-minute ride through the countryside.
After a seven-year restoration effort by Whippany Railway Museum volunteers, their newest addition is ready for its unveiling— the Lackawanna Railroad Commuter Subscription Club Car No. 2454, built in 1912. This historic car was constructed by Barney & Smith Car Co., Dayton, OH, in 1912 for the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad (DL&W), and converted from steam-hauled to electric propulsion in 1930 by American Car & Foundry Co. Celebrated New Jersey inventor, Thomas A. Edison rode as a guest in 1930. No. 2454 was assigned to the Hobokento-Gladstone run, on a train known as “The Millionaire's Express.” No. 2454 was retired from service on August 24, 1984. Riders are welcome to take a seat in one of the cushioned, painstakingly reproduced rattan arm chairs, admire the original wood inlay details and ride like a millionaire.
Another train that is part of this Father’s Day event is a long-time favorite—the elegantly-restored 1927-era Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ) ‘Club Car’ Jersey Coast. The car has the look and feel of a private club with individual leather chairs, mahogany interior accented with stained glass, built-in tables and period ceiling fans. The striking paint scheme of cream and blue reminds one of a comet streaking through space.
Visitors can also opt for a ride in one of the restored cabooses and experience how the train crew lived on the rails. This part rolling office/part living quarters was the car where freight railroad employees did their administrative work, ate their meals and even slept on long runs. Trains will depart at 12:30pm,1:45pm, 3:00pm and 4:15pm. The Museum building will be closed, but weather permitting, the G-scale outdoor model railroad will be operating. Restrooms are available on the grounds, but not onboard the train. Masking and social distancing is strictly required.

The Father's Day Train Ride is a fundraising effort to benefit the Whippany Railway Museum, a 501( c )3 non-profit operating heritage railroad that is staffed by volunteers. Donations from the public help to keep the Museum operational, but funds are still required to support this unique New Jersey treasure. Proceeds from the train rides will further enhance the Museum's mission and its historic preservation efforts.
