Delaware River Railroad Excursions Day Out with Thomas

 

 

Ride the Delaware River Railroad Excursions from Phillipsburg every Saturday and Sunday during the summer and on special dates during the fall and winter. Don't miss this exciting trip along the Old Bel-Del.

 

In addition to a Day Out With Thomas, there are other great train rides that Charles and Adam go on.

 

For example there are Easter Bunny Train Rides & Egg Hunt, Mine Train, Warren County Wine Train for mom and dad, the Corn Maze Train,  The Great Pumpkin Train and the Polar Express.

New York Susquehanna & Western #142 is a Class SY 2-8-2 Mikado-type 2-8-2 steam locomotive built in 1989 by the TangShan Locomotive Work in the Peoples Republic of China.

 

It is among the last steam locomotives built in the entire world! The Passenger cars which travel with the NYS&W # 142 are former Long Island Railroad commuter coaches built in the 1950s and beautifully restored in the 1990s.

 

The New York, Susquehanna & Western Technical & Historical Society's websites are: www.877TrainRide.com and www.nyswths.org. Here you can see the Phillipsburg Steam Excursion's schedules, and order tickets online.
