The Belvidere and Delaware River Railway, Phillipsburg, NJ : The Delaware River Railroad Excursions were started in the spring of 2003 as a partnership between the Phillipsburg Urban Enterprise Zone, The Black River and Western Railroad and The New York Susquehanna & Western Technical & Historical Society Inc. The Belvidere and Delaware River Railway operates steam locomotive No. 142 which was built in the Peoples Republic of China in 1988 by the TangShan Locomotive Works. TangShan is the last place in the world still producing new steam engines. The locomotive resembles trains from an era long ago. The engine, with tender, weighs approximately 154 tons, including ten tons of coal and 6,000 gallons of water. The engine is hand-fired, which means someone has to shovel coal into the firebox to keep the fire hot enough to make steam. No. 142 is 14'6" high, 10'8" wide, and with tender, 75'3" long. Originally, NYS&W was to receive a different engine from China....No. 141. But, while being shipped on the Norwegian freighter S.S. Braut, the vessel capsized in the Bay of Bengal (Indian Ocean). All of the vessel's cargo, including the 141, sank in 6,000 feet of water. To this day No. 141 remains at the bottom of the Bay. After sinking, the No. 142 was purchased from the Valley Railroad in Essex, Connecticut.

Ford Model T : Henry Ford's industrial modernization efforts brought about 15,000,000+ Model Ts running around the United States and other parts of the World. Car prices came down to a low of $500 with workers making $5 a day which was a considerable sum at the time. Model Ts were used, converted into many other things and many turned into scrape for WWII. For those that remain today, a Sunday ride is a relaxing event.
