New Jersey's Morris County is fortunate to have a great little railroad
museum in the Whippany section of Hanover Township.  Located on the
property of the Morristown & Erie Railway along busy NJ Route 10 only
several miles east of Interstate 287, the Whippany Railway Museum is
convenient to the millions of people residing in metropolitan NJ/NY.

year's being co-sponsored by the United Railroad Historical Society:
