Port Jervis Railroad Museum Celebrates Reopening, New Identity, and Major TOYX Restoration Projects

Description

PORT JERVIS, NY — The Port Jervis Railroad Museum will officially reopen to the public on Saturday, July 4, 2026, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the preservation and interpretation of the region's rich railroad heritage. 

A highlight of the reopening celebration will be the public debut of Erie Lackawanna Railway caboose C380. Restored and repainted by TOYX volunteers this spring, the caboose now wears the Erie Lackawanna’s original 1976 bicentennial paint scheme. This red, white, and blue scheme has been brought back to life in 2026 to honor the nation's semiquincentennial and recognize a unique moment in local railroading history from half a century ago.
