President’s Message
Thank you for visiting our Website. Whether you are a new visitor or repeat visitor we very much appreciate you taking time to visit. There is a lot to do on our site, check events, shop in our store and join the Chapter as well.
As we move in to the Autumn months, make sure you move trackside (being careful, of course) to see what’s going on and if you’re taking pictures, keep in mind that today’s pictures are tomorrow’s history.
We’re very happy to announce the following events that you’re all invited to (more details can be found on the Event Calendar – Especially links of where to register for Zoom presentations).
As far as our meetings are concerned, we have one more meeting in August (Zoom only) and programs for September, October, and November (in-person and via Zoom).
Zoom only:
August 25 – WJC member Brian Yates will share images of the Central Railroad of New Jersey (CNJ) from the Palmer collection from the West Jersey Chapter Archives. The program will feature photos of stations, yards, and locomotives.
The next three programs are in-person and on Zoom:
September 22 – Drew Marshall of the Delaware and Susquehanna Model Railroad Club will present a program of his contemporary railroad photos.
