One of the best resources for information on specific railroads are the Railroad Historical Societies. A number of these are in existence for railroads who served (or are still serving the New Jersey area. Among these are the "Erie Lackawanna Historical Society", covering the Erie, Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, Erie- Lackawanna (E-L), The Reading Technical and Historical Society covering the Reading RR (RDG), and the Jersey Central Railway Historical Society covering the Central RR of NJ (CNJ). Others are the Lehigh Valley (LV), The Bridge Line Historical Society covering the Delaware and Hudson (D&H), and the New York, Susquehanna & Western Technical Society, Inc. (NYS&W). Some of these all have Web Sites which you can visit directly via the links below. (Some of these web sites are "unofficial", e.g., the excellent Erie-Lackawanna Web Site hosted by George Elwood, and the Lehigh Valley site.) Other Historical Societies addresses are given in a listing in Others. Many independent groups and individuals have set up their own Web Sites for some of these roads, and these can be reached via the menu in Prototype Resources accessed from the main menu. Clicking on the links to the left brings up the main page for the indicated historical society.
