The PRRH’s first full Open House of the season took place on Saturday, May 14. With seven small open-air cars, an engine, and a caboose, it’s referred to as Phillipsburg’s authentic “mainline in miniature,” and is great fun to ride for both children and adults.Īfter nearly two years of pandemic disruption, the Phillipsburg Railroad Historians are excitedly anticipating a full season of special events. The trains are conducted with full hand signals and rules designed after prototype railroad practice. They operate the historic Centerville & Southwestern miniature railroad, a 2” scale railroad originally created on the Becker Dairy Farm in Roseland, NJ in 1938. L&HR #105, a wood-bodied flanger car built in the 1870’s, is their current restoration project – and believed to be the oldest piece of railroad rolling stock in New Jersey. Their most recent restoration was Lehigh & Hudson River Railroad caboose #18, which took three members nine years to complete. They maintain a collection of full-sized railroad artifacts significant to local railroad industry. PRRH, located at 10 Pine Alley, is a non-profit, all-volunteer group of rail-interested folks whose mission is to preserve the rich railroad history of the Phillipsburg area. An active railroad regularly rumbles by, close enough to wave to the engineer and get a blow of the whistle in return. Sitting on about four acres of property leased from the Town of Phillipsburg, the site has a large parking area, a shady picnic grove, a carshop for equipment, restorations and repairs, a museum and gift shop, and a miniature railroad.
