CNJ Night at Tri-State
Presented by Frank Reilly

For the September meeting, we are joined by long-time a long-time Tri-Stater, Frank Reilly. He worked for the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and will take us on a tour from the Jersey City roundhouse to the coal mines of Pennsylvania, and everything in-between.

Frank started working for the CNJ in early 1966 and as a railfan he always had his camera with him.  He even convinced management to let him create a Know Your CNJ slide show in 1969 to familiarize new managers coming over from the B&O. He got two weeks to produce this show as well as unlimited slide film and support from officials throughout the CNJ.  Frank also had his pass embossed with the words, “Good on any train or engine” and he made good use of it, which included being in a train wreck!  Don’t miss this rare and exciting show that includes train wrecks, being held up at knife point in the Garwood station, etc.
