The Phillipsburg Railroad Historians, Inc. was founded April 1, 1990, for the purpose of establishing a railroad museum at Phillipsburg to tell the story of local railroad history. Our Museum site is located behind the Noto-Wynkoop Funeral Home (across from Joe's Steak Shop) off South Main Street in Phillipsburg. We have a lease with the Town of Phillipsburg for the use of approximately four acres of former Central Railroad of New Jersey land. This includes a former freight building used for museum and gift shop purposes. We are also actively seeking the preservation of the former CRR of NJ "PU" tower in Phillipsburg.
At present we are preserving the following equipment: CNJ Wooden Caboose #91197 In 1993, we acquired the former Centerville & Southwestern miniature 2" scale railroad for the Town of Phillipsburg. We are leasing this equipment from the town. We have laid 500 feet of permanent road bed and operate on weekends during the summer. We have received a grant from the Phillipsburg UEZ for $75,000 to rebuild a retaining wall, build an engine house, and fence the Museum site. The retaining wall was completed in 1999 and we expect the remaining projects to be completed in 2000. Update: The enginehouse grant was combined with the grant that Friends received and it is now built! It was completed and approved in November 2000. Our member meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of each month, except in November and December when we meet on the third Wednesday, at United Presbyterian Church Of Alpha, 859 High Street, Alpha, NJ 08865 at 7:30 PM. Directors meetings are held as posted. We are an IRS 501C3 non-profit organization and a member of The United Railroad Historical Society of New Jersey. Membership dues are $25 per year.
