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 January 5 meeting will be by Mitchell Dakelman, noted author, president of the Jersey Central Railroad Historical Society, and a lifelong crusader for the preservation of railroad history. Mitch’s presentation will be on The Iron Mine Railroads of Northern New Jersey, exploring the various railroads that served the coal mines in the 19th Century, including the Jersey Central Railroad High Bridge Branch, the DL&W, L&NE, L&HR, and Lehigh Valley railroads; and the Morris Canal.
