Volunteer Railroaders Association

[2] The VRA's mission is to raise funds for the preservation and restoration historic railroad right of way, rolling stock and other related items.

We also strive to educate the public to create an awareness of our mission through our many events focused on the history and future need for railroad operations.

[4][5] The SVA volunteers worked on the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway (NYS&W) steam excursions beginning that year.

The volunteer-run excursions traveled 180 miles (290 km) round-trip between Hoboken, New Jersey, and Port Jervis, New York.

A restoration project to assist in clearing the right-of-way of the Cape May Seashore Railroad for resumption of excursions between from Rio Grande, New Jersey, to Cold Spring began in 2020.
