Patcong Valley Model Railroad

Patcong Valley Model Railroad Patcong Valley Model Railroad Club is located in Richland, NJ, on Route 40 at Fir Avenue, about 8 mil

Since 1962, the Patcong Valley Model Railroad has been in operation at several locations throughout Atlantic County and is currently located in Richland, NJ. The PVMRR is a fictional, regional railroad serving northeastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey, approximately from Scranton to Weehawken. We model a time period from the late-1940s to the late-1950s, the waning days of the steam engine

and the expansion of diesel motive power. Our railroad interchanges with the mighty and the meek of the era-- the New York Central, Pennsylvania Railroad, Jersey Central, Erie-Lackawanna, Delaware & Hudson, and Lehigh Valley are just a few of the Class 1 "Fallen Flags" you can see. Run-through power from southern, mid-western, and western railroads is also plentiful helping to haul manufactured goods, coal, oil, steel, and lumber to a wide variety of users from the big city of Weehawken to the transit hub of Scranton and the many small towns and villages in between. Annually, we open our doors to the public during selected dates over the summer months and throughout the winter holidays. Our greatest joy is seeing the pleasure, enjoyment, and delight of our visitors as they tour our model railroad taking in all the details, and whimsy.

Railfanning along the Patcong Valley - was able to catch up with the PRR manifest across the valley. Long lens was hard to steady, but we got it all in. Check out the State of Maine box in red, white, and blue!

It's that time of the year again! Come join us for our annual open house!

Railfanning along the Patcong Valley: long before there were well cars brimming with stacked containers, there were plain old boxcar manifests, and plenty of them. Here we see a consist of Pennsy F-unit power with a good sized eastbound train on the headpin.

Penn Central under the wires! Dusk along the Patcong Valley Railroad, and we caught this brace of PC power in charge of a stout loading of corn, soon to be syrup and sweeteners. Did you notice the rare Red P-White C logo on the leading SD35?

Hope everyone’s summer is going well!

The clubhouse has been open all season, and the railroad has been buzzing with activity — from private projects to club collaborations.

Our scenery team has kept the layout looking fresh, clean, and ready for showtime. The track crew also knocked out a full‑day cleaning session with great teamwork and results.

A big thanks to those who’ve stepped up to handle maintenance and keep things running smoothly.

Meanwhile, the Animation, Lighting, and Sound team has brought new life to the park’s Merry‑Go‑Round next to the baseball field — it looks fantastic! Stop by and check it out.

More updates coming soon… stay tuned and keep those trains rolling! 🚆
