Jersey Central Chapter

of the NRHS

The Jersey Central Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, NRHS, was formed in 1980 as a non-profit group dedicated to the preservation and restoration of railroad and railroad related equipment, structures, photographs and literature.

To this extent, the group's members have restored, or donated funds for others to restore, several pieces of railroad rolling stock owned by the chapter or the United Railroad Historical Society.

We have donated funds for the restoration and painting of URHS owned CNJ GP-7 No. 1523 and GG-1 4877. JCRHS donated a restored Erie caboose C-177 to the Whippany Railway Museum.

We have supported financially the restoration of the Centerville and Southwestern Railroad, an operating 2" scale model railroad, located at the Phillipsburg Railroad Historians site in Phillipsburg, NJ.

Jersey Central holds monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of each month at The Model Railroad Club in Union, NJ. For more information concerning our meetings, please visit our Meetings Page. Membership information can be found on our Membership Page which includes an application form.
