Train Rides in Rockaway, NJ - September 16th 

The Tri-State Railway Historical Society returns to the Celebrate Rockaway Borough Street Fair, offering free train rides on September 16, 2018. Riding aboard Tri-State's three restored cabooses (DL&W No. 896, L&NE No. 580, and RRRR No. 10), passengers will be treated to a 15-minute, narrated train ride along the Rockaway River and historic Morris Canal. 

All trains depart from the parking lot of Potbelly's Riverside Cafe. The first train leaves at 1 PM, with additional trains departing throughout the duration of the street fair.
