The New York Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society meets monthly except for July and August. Our regular meeting date is the first Monday of each month, September through June.
This meeting will be virtual only, via Zoom. Our regular meeting room at St. Margaret's House on Fulton Street in Manhattan will be under construction for a year or more, so for now we will be meeting only via Zoom. Entertainment at the December 1 meeting will be by Edward Holder, a young, published photographer and rail enthusiast. Edward will focus on the history, abandonment, and efforts to restore the Lackawanna Cutoff (especially in the last three years), the massive rail project built around 1911 in New Jersey and abandoned around 1979. The eastern end of the Cutoff is being restored by NJ Transit, and Edward will have videos of the construction progress. Edward’s work can be seen online at Ed Holder Productions on YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram.
