The photograph reproduced above shows a vintage Lackawanna Railroad caboose that has been completely restored and painted in authentic Lackawanna colors by members of our chapter. It is now on exhibition at the Whippany (NJ) Railway Museum located on NJ Route 10 & Whippany Road, open every Sunday. A restored Lackawanna baggage car is also exhibited at the Museum. Other chapter members have published books, organized excursions and field trips throughout New Jersey to New York and Maryland and conducted banquets, railroadiana swap meets and joint meetings with other rail fans.
