  • Transportation Trips, Excursions, Special Journeys, Outings, Tours, and Milestones In, To, from Or Through New Jersey
    TRANSPORTATION TRIPS, EXCURSIONS, SPECIAL JOURNEYS, OUTINGS, TOURS, AND MILESTONES IN, TO, FROM OR THROUGH NEW JERSEY Bill McKelvey, Editor, Updated to Mon., Mar. 8, 2021 INTRODUCTION This is a reference work which we hope will be useful to historians and researchers. For those researchers wanting to do a deeper dive into the history of a particular event or series of events, copious resources are given for most of the fantrips, excursions, special moves, etc. in this compilation. You may find it much easier to search for the RR, event, city, etc. you are interested in than to read the entire document. We also think it will provide interesting, educational, and sometimes entertaining reading. Perhaps it will give ideas to future fantrip or excursion leaders for trips which may still be possible. In any such work like this there is always the question of what to include or exclude or where to draw the line. Our first thought was to limit this work to railfan excursions, but that soon got broadened to include rail specials for the general public and officials, special moves, trolley trips, bus outings, waterway and canal journeys, etc. The focus has been on such trips which operated within NJ; from NJ; into NJ from other states; or, passed through NJ. We have excluded regularly scheduled tourist type rides, automobile journeys, air trips, amusement park rides, etc. NOTE: Since many of the following items were taken from promotional literature we can not guarantee that each and every trip was actually operated. Early on the railways explored and promoted special journeys for the public as a way to improve their bottom line.

    WJVintage November 2020 Newsletter Welcome to the November 2020 edition of the WJVintage newsletter. It hardly seems possible that Christmas is just around the corner and yet we are still in the grip of the Covid 19 pandemic and indeed, here in England, we are midway through a proposed/supposed one month second lockdown. Fortunately, this is another bumper edition so at least you can while away a nice coffee break with something to read! I must just mention that this is not a bumper edition due to my travels, as I haven’t been anywhere! No, once again I have you, the readership, to thank for your wonderful contributions which allow me to bring you a varied, and hopefully interesting, view of what everyone is up to during this strange year on planet earth. Please, please keep the photos, snippets of information and articles coming as I think we are going to be largely stuck at home for some time to come. Thanks to David Knighton for this month’s header photo – there’s more from him below. So, this month ‘Customer Corner’ is very definitely worth a visit with layout photos from several readers, Part 2 of Roger Kimber’s Collection, featuring his British outline models and a superb feature on DIY Cattle/Livestock Wagons from Andrew Spooner. If he could ‘kit’ his design I think it would be very popular, so do take a look! ‘What’s New’ features a superb new Well Wagon, which is our first 2021 new product announcement, plus I have included my ‘Christmas Crackers’, a range of goodies I have arriving imminently and/or already in stock and available to tempt you as Christmas presents or treats!
