OUR 2023 OPERATING SCHEDULE ENDS WITH THE RUNNING OF OUR ANNUAL SANTA TRAIN

The Phillipsburg Railroad Historians ended their 2023 operating schedule with the December 2nd running of the annual Santa Train. Santa arrived in Lehigh and Hudson River Caboose number 18 with a train-load of Centerville and Southwestern passengers pacing it.
