Northwest New Jersey's Black River and Western Railroad reintroduced its short line operation in the 1960s as a tourist line. Seen as great family fun, the train runs from Flemington to Ringoes, and is said to be a museum on wheels. The railroad carries shoppers and sightseers through town and all stops on the main line. Bringing out the kid in all of us, the railway tour cruises through 16 miles of scenic countryside and the gentle hills of Hunterdon County. An American Locomotive steam engine, built in 1937, usually powers the train, adding an element of early railroading. Locomotive #60, with a 2-8-0 wheel arrangement, has been out of service for an in-depth boiler repair. Pictured here is a Black River and Western Railroad stand-in, the EMD 1200 HP diesel locomotive #1202, built in 1956.
