The Black River & Western Railroad is hosting its first Sci-Fi Day on Sunday, June 25. Members of the 501st Legion will be on board the train for some fantastic photo ops with favorite sci-fi characters.

The Legion is an all-volunteer nonprofit formed for the express purpose of bringing together costume enthusiasts under a unified identity. The Legion seeks to promote interest in Star Wars while supporting the community through Star Wars-related events and costumed charity and volunteer work.

Black River & Western Railroad is once again supporting United Way of Hunterdon County by asking riders to take part in a Summer White Sale Donation Drive. Donations of new bed sheets (any size), bath towels, washcloths, hand towels, and dish towels will be distributed to Hunterdon families in need.

This special excursion train ride will be departing Flemington Depot on Sunday, June 25th at 11:30am and 1:00pm.
