CHESTER HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESENTS
"ROCKAWAY VALLEY RAILROAD"
This program will be held on Thursday, January 13, 2005 at 7 p.m. at the "Larison Room" in the Chester Library.
The Chester Historical Society has invited Gerald Oliveto, a longtime local
railroad history buff, to present a program on the Rockaway Valley Railroad
at the newly renovated and expanded Chester Library.
Mr. Oliveto will discuss the short history of the Rockaway Valley Railroad,
how it linked to the early transportation networks in New Jersey, how the
name "Rock-a-Bye Railroad" originated, and other interesting facts about
early railroad development in the area.
The program is open to the public as well as CHS members. There is no fee
for admission, and refreshments will be served following the presentation.
