Many months of planning and labor came to fruition on Saturday, November 14, 2026, with the opening of the Camden & Amboy Railroad Heritage Park in Bordentown. The park is located at the east end of the NJ Transit Bordentown River Line station parking lot. A project of West Jersey Chapter and the Bordentown Historical Society, spearheaded by Pierre Lacombe (a director of both organizations), the opening ceremony commenced at 11:00 a. m., with speeches by Stephanie Lagos, Mayor of Bordentown City; Steve Lederman and Bonnie Goldman, Co-Presidents of the Bordentown Historical Society; Dave Homer, President of West Jersey Chapter; Senator Troy Singleton, Majority Caucus Chair - District 7; Paul Wyckoff, NJ Transit Chief of Government & External Affairs, and Project Leader Pierre Lacombe. Afterwards attendees were invited to participate in the Silver Spike Ceremony, where silver-painted hook-headed spikes were driven into the stone sleepers and wooden ties to secure the 35-pound rails.
An estimated one hundred persons attended the ceremony, with many West Jersey Chapter members present. After the ceremony attendees were invited to inspect the displays. As part of this project, informational signs have been placed on the Prince Street and Farnsworth Avenue bridges, and along Railroad Avenue where streets cross the railroad.
