This
delightful book is your ticket to ride on the now defunct
Sussex Branch of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad. Each of the 6 stories in this volume gives the

New Jersey. Mighty steam engines, picturesque stations,
the magic of railroading in Sussex County comes to life.
From its humble beginnings in 1854 to its last run in
1966, the Sussex Railroad has fascinated railroad fans
of all ages. But what was it really like to ride the rails?
Join the citizens of Newton as they celebrate the arrival
of the first train to their new station. Follow two children,
Emily and Josh, as their first trip turns into an exciting

ghosts of the past. Imagine what the future might have
been. All aboard the Sussex Railroad!
