StructuresTouch-A-Truck Event
September 9, 2018
SAVE THE DATE ! Come to the Whippany Railway Museum on Sunday, September 9th for our very first "Touch-A-Truck" event. This fun family outing offers children of all ages a hands-on opportunity to explore working trucks of all types, as well as meeting the people who build, protect and serve the local community.
See a collection of vehicles - fire trucks, transport vehicles, construction vehicles and public health and safety trucks - that will be positioned on the Museum grounds. Attendees can climb into the cabs, honk the horns, examine the equipment, flash the lights and creatively explore the trucks with guidance from the respective professionals who will explain the equipment and discuss the work each vehicle performs.
Each train ticket holder will receive a special commemorative keepsake of the day.
Ride the hourly excursion trains at 1, 2, 3 & 4 PM
