CNJ, Elizabeth to Raritan
Presented by Tom Nemeth

For our October meeting, we are joined by Tom Nemeth, Editor of Railpace Newsmagazine and longtime friend of Tri-State. Nemeth has been a prolific photographer and his presentation will focus on the CNJ mainline between Elizabeth and Raritan.

The CNJ mainline was among the earliest rail lines constructed in New Jersey. It grew to be multiple tracks and host to numerous daily through freights and local drills to serve lineside industries. There were also the CNJ’s commuter trains and the intercity passenger trains of the Reading and Baltimore & Ohio, the CNJ’s corporate parents. The Elizabeth to Raritan section was a busy stretch of railroad and we look forward to Nemeth’s show.
