IronMiners.com is happy to announce that we will be hosting a presentation for the New Jersey Transportation Heritage Center at the Drew University, Hall of Science Auditorium in Madison NJ. This presentation will take place Saturday March 28th.
Directions:
Drew University, Hall of Science Auditorium, Route 124 (Madison Ave./Main St.) Madison - just west of the center of town, within walking distance of the NJ Transit Madison Railroad Station. (The Hall is located at the east side of the campus - closest to the NJT station.)

I believe the cost is $25.00 a person, proceeds go towards the New Jersey Transportation Heritage Center.
Our presentation will be among a group of other presentations which will tall take place throughout the day. Taken from the website, presentations will cover NJ railroads, buses, trucks, canals, trolleys and ferries including planned looks at: The Feasibility Study for Rail Access to Liberty State Park; RR Car Restoration; Owning and Operating Tugboat PEGASUS; the Erie RR Bergen Hill Tunnel; DeCamp Bus Co. Part II; NJ Bus Manufacturers; VRA Motor Car Trips in NJ; Santa Claus Trains; Inspecting the PATH tunnels after 9.11.01; Lincoln Highway in NJ; Rails Along the Delaware & Raritan Canal; and perhaps some surprises. The day will conclude with an auction of Transport Artifacts, Publications, Memorabilia and Model Railroad items, with all proceeds going toward the Heritage Center. Also: Presentation of New Jersey Legislative Proclamations. And of coarse a presentation on underground mine haulage by IronMiners.
While the event goes from 9-5, the IronMiners presentation will take place around 2:00. Hope to see you there!
