Phillipsburg Union Train Station 178 South Main Street, Phillipsburg, NJ 08865

"Small train museum"

"This train station is filled with all types of mementos of train information. It is a treasure to have this available to the community."

"Loved the Polar Express! THE best experience EVER!! Every step of the process was easy and enjoyable. Luke J. at the ticket counter was friendly, knowledge and extremely helpful! The entire train ride is filled with entertainment. Our favorites were the juggling, chefs serving hot chocolate and cookies, Popcorn the elf was awesome!!! He walked over and said "who wants a selfie with an elf-ie". So fun!! Towards the end we had a visit with Santa! Santa was dressed beautifully and so nice. All of the staff on the train made sure everyone was having a blast. It wasn't rushed and all the entertainers stopped so we could take photos and selfies. We also received a souvenir silver bell with "Polar Express" engraved on the bell. Such an awesome ornament to hang on the Christmas tree to bring back this memory! The parking wasn't bad. We parked on the street for free about 1 block away. There was a little bit of traffic so get there with plenty of time to spare. There was also a parking lot closer to the train. They had food carts at the base of the train tracks that had a good variety of food. We didn't eat there but they had burgers, hot dogs, fries, pretzels, chicken fingers, steak sandwiches, piergoies, hot and cold beverages just to name a few. I would go back again and want to try the other train tours throughout the year. THE best experience!!!!"

"The Phillipsburg Union Train Station was restored & reopened as a Museum by the avid workforce & railroad enthusiasts of The New Jersey Transportation History Center! It's easily worth seeing especially during the excitement of The Annual RAILFEST (in September) where there is a ton of various activities (trolley rides, miniature train rides, demonstrations, entertainment, etc. etc.) to see & do for those riding solo & families alike!"

"I visited the Union Station last year during my visit to Phily though I had taken a bus and not a train though I wnet inside to feel the vibes. This station has both a ramp and stairs to enter, there are toilets or restrooms at 2-3 places and the place is clean and fresh even with lot of croews inside during the day time in the summer season."
