President’s Message

Dave Homer

Welcome and thank you for visiting our website.   As we move in to the Summer 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). 

  • May 19 – Vice President Fred Ciocciola will be sharing a program called “Conrail through the Years.”

Our Summer Speaker Series is via Zoom only, with our first virtual meeting in June:

  • June 23 – There will be a group presentation featuring taking the Ferry from Philadelphia to Camden, then taking the train from Camden to Pemberton and points beyond.

  • July 28 – Member Don Lee will present “Railroads in the Civil War.”    The American Civil War has been described as the world’s first railroad war and New Jersey railroads did their part to support the war effort.

  • August 25 – we’re working on scheduling a program and will have details soon.

We’ll have more meetings and activities. Check out our website, shop in our store, join the Chapter!  

You can also follow us on Facebook and you can check out some of our programs on our YouTube channel.

We invite you to join us and if you wish, please reach out to us through the contact us section of our website. Thank you for your interest in the West Jersey Chapter – National Railway Historical Society.
