The Genuine Article

New Jersey's Original Small Town Railroad
The Black River & Western Railroad is not a museum piece: it's a working shortline railroad serving passengers and industrial customers in rural Hunterdon County, NJ since 1964. Our passenger trains are operated with antique railroad equipment by the volunteers of the Black River Railroad Historical Trust - a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation. Come experience the charm of small-town railroading on one of our weekend passenger excursions, or for some added entertainment visit one of our family-friendly special events. Whether you want to spend a night out on the town, explore a corn maze, meet Santa, or help solve a murder-mystery, we have a train for you!

Get Involved
Ever day-dream about being the Conductor of a passenger train or getting behind the throttle of a massive diesel or steam locomotive? Come make it a reality with the Black River Railroad Historical Trust. Our entire staff consists of volunteer railroaders that have day jobs...just like you. Members of the Trust receive railroad training (no prior experience required) and can move up through the ranks to participate in any railroad job they desire! In addition to train crew volunteers, we are always looking for assistance with "support" jobs such as equipment restoration and repair, grounds maintanance, event planning, and more. Visit the About page for details on how you can get involved!
