Treat Dad to a vintage train ride experience on the Whippany Railway Museum's Father’s Day Express train. Step back through the decades at the non-profit Whippany Railway Museum where we provide a 10-mile, 45-minute, round trip ride. 

Onboard this limited-time event, passengers travel the route of The Whippanong Trail. The train rolls through Whippany, East Hanover, Livingston and Roseland in Morris and Essex Counties, passing through the remnants of pre-historic Glacial Lake Passaic, a natural swamp which supports abundant wildlife, such as deer, turtles, wild turkeys, hawks and rabbits.

This excursion offers 3 different seating classes to choose from:  

Passengers can board a caboose of their choice and experience how freight railroaders lived and worked onboard their cozy, little "home-away-from-home" waycars.  The kids love the cabooses.

For a slightly higher fare you can upgrade your excursion experience by choosing to ride in our 1927-era Central Railroad of New Jersey club car 'Jersey Coast', which is a beautifully  restored, wood-paneled conveyance that features all the amenities offered by the CNJ's legendary Blue Comet passenger train of the 1930s that traveled between Jersey City and Atlanitc City.  Painted in a two-tone blue, with a cream window band, this striking car reminds one of a comet streaking through space. 

For the ultimate experience, climb aboard the award-winning, Lackawanna Railroad Subscription Club Car No. 2454, which radiated elegance on a train once known as 'The Millionaire's Express', that ran between Hoboken Terminal and Gladstone, NJ from 1912 to 1984.
