    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.

[47 boxes] Box Contents | Company Name List Content Note The majority of the transportation corporations included in this series are railroad and street railway companies. These corporation files contain official documents pertaining to the corporate status and/or operations of each company, such as: incorporations (charters) and amendments, annual reports, agreements and leases, name changes, mergers, sales, route maps, etc. While some of the filings date to the early nineteenth century (e.g. documents from as early as 1816 in the Delaware and Raritan Canal file), most date from after 1875, when corporations engaged in business in New Jersey were required by law to file with the Secretary of State annual reports providing the names and terms of the company's directors, officers, etc. (see P.L. 1877, chap. 68). Box 46 of this series contains a card index to the corporation files, which not only records the years of annual reports received by the Secretary of State, but also reports individual filings for each company. A list of company names is provided following the box contents list below. The company name list provides the file number if a file exists for a company; in cases where a card exists without an actual file, "--" has been used in place of the file number.

    Meeting Highlights

    MEETING HIGHLIGHTS WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2002 10AM Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission 8th Floor—Main Conference Room The Bourse Building, 111 South Independence Mall East, Philadelphia, PA 19106 1. Call to order Co-chairs Elizabeth Voras of PennDOT and John Coscia of DVRPC called the meeting to order. All Task Force members were recognized and the July 10, 2002 meeting notes were approved by the committee. Due to the special nature of the meeting (i.e., the observance of the tenth anniversary of the formation of the Goods Movement Task Force), it was noted that several guests were present including founding members of the Task Force and members of the National Freight Stakeholders Coalition. Mr. Coscia also commented on the commemorative pen and pencil holders (shaped as shipping containers) which were distributed to the committee members. 2. Freight Planning in the Delaware Valley: 1992-2002 Don Shanis of DVRPC discussed the evolution of DVRPC’s freight planning program from 1992-2002, and also considered future opportunities and challenges. The Delaware Valley Goods Movement Task Force, the centerpiece of the agency’s effort, first met on December 15, 1992. A key component of the Task Force has been its three subcommittees: Data, Planning, and Shippers. In recognition of their efforts, Task Force subcommittee chairs Rick Crawford, Kelvin MacKavanagh, and Gary Shields were presented with service awards. The Goods Movement Task Force has greatly benefitted from the active support of all sectors of the freight community. Shana Baker of FHWA presented a letter from US DOT’s Assistant Secretary for Transportation Policy, Emil Frankel, which commended the Task Force’s many partners for their participation and contributions.

NEW YORK, NEWARK AND PHILADELPHIA: HISTORICAL PUBLISHING COMPANY, PUBLISHERS, OOPYEIOHTED. GENERAL INTRODUCTORY. The growth of the American Republic is so marked in all departments of industry and commerce, that its best-informed citizens are not able to keep pace with the many very rapid changes that are continually going on about them. Particularly is this the case with the State of New Jersey, which, lying between the two great cities of the country, is made a vast area of great productiveness and exercising no little influence upon these two important centres. Recognizing the very great necessity of some work that would give to the world comprehensive information in regard to the growth and present status of the State, the publishers of this work have no hesitancy in placing it in the hands of the public, believing that no volume, heretofore issued, relating to New Jersey and its industries, contain so great an amount of useful information. For the purpose of giving a wider circulation of the work, it has been published in parts, each complete in itself, and these numbers will, at an early date, be revised and bound in one large and handsome volume.
