JSF01, these are all good suggestions. The Black River Railroad Historical Trust http://www.flemingtontrain.org does have members young through senior, and they participate in restoration, train service, etc. It helps keep interest when there is an operation carrying passengers. The URHS http://www.urhs.org is an umbrella organization of many of the NJ rail historical societies and it does look for ways to have larger events. Unfortunately, just as with other volunteer organizations such as fire, EMS, etc. it is becoming increasingly difficult to attract volunteers.
