Ringoes, NJ: BR&W/Pennsy/BR&W Depot and Train Museum

(Satellite)

BR&W = Black River & Western.

The BR&W is a Class III railroad that handles freight. "The Black River Railroad Historical Trust (BRRHT) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization which manages the public passenger trains and events on the Black River & Western Railroad." The route was built in 1854. They sometimes use their steam locomotive to handle the freight trains. [BlackRiverRailroad_about]

The tourist trains run to their Flemington Station.

The depot is peeking out between the two trees on the right.

Dennis DeBruler: This was a PRR route. The depot is now part of a tourist train operation: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uEuZuLtiwi2EBrKEA.

Evidently, when it became a tourist railroad, they went back to the original name of the route.

I saw photos of another diesel (Pennsy painted black) and of this steam locomotive.
