| Overview | Boonton, NJ - Among the exhibited items will be the Pennsylvania Railroad's famous 1930s vintage streamlined GG-1s, which Reilly said are the largest electric locomotives that ever operated in New Jersey. "They were the giants of the rails," he said. "Every day they traveled over 100 mph between New York City and Washington, D.C.
"This railroad equipment restoration facility is normally closed to the public," he said. "The last time it was open for a public event was three years ago." The event is free to the public. The festival will take place in and around the society's restoration facility Sunday, Sept. 19 at 100 Morris Ave in Boonton from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, call Reilly from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. at 908-647-3622 .
