All aboard for "First Responders Day"

Everyone at the Woodstown Central Railroad acknowledges the courage and commitment of first responders who work tirelessly to protect our communities. On September 20th, we honor the bravery and dedication of firefighters, police officers, paramedics, EMTs, and 911 dispatchers by hosting our first First Responders Day. It's a day to give back by recognizing their service and sacrifice, and to remember those who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

Choose from two different trains: Diesel-powered passenger train, pulled by ex-Reading FP7 #902 and #903. Steam Powered freight train, pulled by #9.

First Responders ride for only $5 (donated to local charity)

A portion of other ticket proceeds will benefit a local charity.

Also available at South Woodstown Station will be interactive First Responder displays provided by our local communities between 12pm and 4pm.

About the excursion:

Climb aboard for an enriching journey over the tracks of the original Woodstown & Swedesboro Railroad built in 1883. This 18-mile roundtrip will take passengers over Salem County’s first railroad line, dating back to 1863. Along the way, take in the lush forests and some of New Jersey’s most rural and beautiful farmland from our authentically restored 1930s train.
