NEW: BUY YOUR TICKETS NOW

Celebrate the return of Spring with a fun themed train ride through northern New Jersey! The Easter Bunny and helpers will be on board greeting everyone during the 45-minute round-trip ride along the Morristown & Erie Railway's historic Whippanong Trail.

Your train ride departs from and returns to the Whippany Railway Museum site in Morris County, NJ. You'll enjoy the comfort of heated passenger coaches as the Easter Bunny's helpers hand out holiday treats for the kids. You are welcome to bring your camera to take photos enroute (free of charge), but be aware that the Easter Bunny has to visit many children and can't stay long with each person.

The 'Jersey Coast' recalls the 1930's when the CNJ operated its deluxe coach train, the Blue Comet between Jersey City and Atlantic City, NJ. The striking paint scheme of cream and blue reminds one of a comet streaking through space.

Feel like a millionaire for 45 minutes while traveling in this carefully restored relic from another age.
