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 held in person in Manhattan and by Zoom. Entertainment at the April 7 meting will be by NRHS Photo and Film Archivist Mitchell E. Dakelman, who will present "The History of New Jersey Streetcars", a digital PowerPoint presentation. The focal point of the program is 1910 era glass plate negatives, saved by the late Ira Deutsch, taken by Public Service of New Jersey. Color work from the late Al Holtz will also be featured. The program also uses photos from the North Jersey Chapter, NRHS, which owned extensive PSNJ streetcar images.
Our meetings in person are held at St. Margaret's House, 49 Fulton St., Manhattan, between Pearl and Cliff Streets on the north side; enter the main door and turn left, proceed past the double doors and into a corridor, where we meet at Meeting Room 3 on the left. St. Margaret's House is convenient to the Fulton St. subway complex; the closest subway lines in the complex are the 2 and 3 lines, and the south (downtown) end of the A and C lines. The J, Z, 4 and 5 lines also serve the complex; the PATH at World Trade Center and the Wall Street ferry piers are also within walking distance, and the SBS bus lines on 1st and 2d Avenues.
