All of our trains and events (except our annual Model Train Show) take place at the Black River & Western Railroad in Flemington and Ringoes, NJ. The railroad has two public train stations: one at Ringoes and one at Flemington. For some trains and events, passengers may begin their trip at the station of their choice. For others, passengers must begin their trip at a particular station. Please carefully read the details on the train or event you plan to attend to determine where you may begin your trip!
