2h agoA very large piece of New Jersey history is back
home -- the Hoboken
Manufacturers Railroad Number 700 has spent the last 45 years in Pennsylvania.
It's now in the care of the
Tri-State Railway Historical Society.
The organization works to
preserve New Jersey's rich railroad history.
"Our mechanics will be
doing a full evaluation to see what needs to be updated and replaced if
anything, then, we'll be doing an evaluation for paint prep,” says Richard
King, president of the Tri-State Railway Society. “The locomotive will
eventually be repainted into its Hoboken Manufacturers colors."
Restoration will happen in
Boonton.
King says this may be the last locomotive preserved
from the Hoboken Manufacturers Railroad.
