The Delaware River Railroad Excursions was started in the spring of 2004 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. Our trains include: Easter Bunny trains, Regular Season trains, Mine trains, Winery trains, A Day Out With Thomas, Corn Maze trains, The Great Pumpkin

trains, and the Polar Express. For special event train times and for ticket prices please go to 877trainride.com

Regular season trips run every Saturday and Sunday from the beginning of May until the end of October. In addition to the regular rides, we offer a Mine Train, where the train takes you to the Ol' Susquehanna Mine. until the next train) and pan for gemstones. We also offer a Winery Train for adults. You will take the train to the end of our line and take a short bus ride up to the winery, Villa Milagro. There you have the opportunity to taste the wines and purchase them at the winery. Villa Milagro is the only organic vineyard on the east coast. This train only runs at 11:00. Winery trains DO NOT run during the July 4th weekend and the following weekend due to the A Day Out With Thomas Event (Information below). Starting in August, you will have the option to ride the train to the Ol' Susquehanna Mine and participate in a corn maze. The maze is carved in the image of a steam engine. There is a short maze and a long maze. During October, every child on our train will be able to get off at the historic Carpentersville Lime Kilns and pick a pumpkin. Picking the pumpkins is solely for children, no adults will be allowed to take a pumpkin. SPECIAL TRAINS:

Starting the weekend before Easter and the Saturday before Easter Sunday, we run our Easter Bunny trains. Children on the train will get a visit from the Easter Bunny and be allowed to pick 3 eggs from our Easter Egg patch (weather permitting) in front of the Carpentersville Lime Kilns. If the patch must be closed due to weather, 3 eggs will be handed out to each child on the train. During the July 4th weekend and the following weekend, we will be hosting A Day Out With Thomas. Two trains are available that day, our mine train and regular train ride (no winery train these two weekends), and a 25 minute ride behind a real, working Thomas the Tank Engine. There is also much to do back at our station area in Phillipsburg. During the last weekend in November and for 3 weekends in December, we run our Polar Express trains. During the trip, everyone in their pajamas will receive hot chocolate and cookies. The story of the Polar Express will be playing throughout the train.

Does anyone know the story of Mr. Smith and how she relates to the Susquehanna Mining Company?

06/23/2024

At the Susquehanna Mine on the Delaware River Railroad Excursions, The Snyder Site Complex consists of multicomponent prehistoric localities situated on landscapes adjacent to the Delaware River in the river basin’s mid-section. The oldest of the occupations (Paleoindian cultural period), date to approximately 13,000 years ago in New Jersey. Over 30 fluted Paleoindian projectile points or bifaces have been reported from plowed/surface and buried, stratified contexts.

06/23/2024

The sites of the Snyder Complex, at The Susquehanna Mining Company, along with relatively few others (most notably the Plenge Site in Asbury, NJ) in the Delaware Valley, stand out because of the large area that it covers, the number of fluted bifaces that can be associated with its Paleoindian occupations, and the fact that it is revisited throughout the Paleoindian period. By not conforming with the patterning of most other Paleoindian localities, the Snyder Complex begs the question why? Is it uniquely situated relative to natural resources of critical importance to Paleoindians? Is the existence of a local source of toolstone the key factor influencing Paleoindian settlement patterns and the repeated use of local landscapes? Is the site a gathering place, a location convenient to the territories of a number of Paleoindian bands, where exchanges of information, trade, and socializing could take place? Is it a well-known stopping place along trails linking the Delaware Valley and Middle Atlantic Region with Paleoindian territories of the greater Northeast?
Renewed research at the Plenge site and its potential relationship with the Snyder Complex (Gingerich 2013:142) stimulated the efforts of Jennifer C. Rankin (in support of her dissertation research at Temple University) and Dr. R. Michael Stewart (Temple University and New Jersey's Historic Preservation Office) to pull together previous research and initiate new field work and a research program in 2014.
