Highlights
Outing Highlights
Living Mid‑Century Locomotive History
Reading 902 and 903 embody a mid‑century American rail lineage: debuted in 1950 with the Reading Company, later retired, and restored to operate on the Woodstown Central—bringing preserved locomotive character to modern family excursions.
Nostalgia Meets Family Fun
The preserved equipment and restored locomotives reconnect riders with the charm and power of vintage trains, making the Easter Bunny Express as much a railfan draw as a family event.
A Restored Engine, A Seasonal Tradition
Their rebirth on the Woodstown Central transforms the train into a living artifact—part locomotive preservation project, part celebratory platform for seasonal programming like the Easter egg hunt at Fenwick Grove.
