Railroad Museum [for a day]

Tri-State's last public appearance for 2017 was at the United Railroad Historical Society of NJ's "Railroad Museum [for a day]". The event, which was held on Sunday, September 25, served as a showcase for not only the URHS collection, but Tri-State's as well. Tri-State shares space with URHS in Boonton yard, which is leased from NJ Transit.

Tri-State's M&E 19 and cabooses were half of the open exhibits at the event, and Tri-State's volunteers had the opportunity to display their hard work to the public. Check out the photos of the event below! (Hover over for captions).

The star lineup for the event: CNJ 1524, M&E 19, and New York Central 4083.

19 was open for cab tours. Here is Dennis Livesey's view of the helm of our Alco.
