RV #15 2-8-0 stops for water and coal service at Kenilworth. Caboose #102 is equipped with an electric back-up light, no markers.


Baldwin-built 2-8-0 No. 15 brings a train back from the Jersey Central interchange at Alden

The Kenilworth shop handles light repairs to the line's 3 Consolidations. Heavier overhauls are sent to the Lackawanna backshop at Kingsland.

#15's broad, steel planked pilot beam is ideal for carrying l.c.l.
loads when there aren't enough to fill a box car. No. 15 is backing onto the Lackawanna electrified tracks at Summit, N. J.


#15 drags her caboose and a string of freight cars unhurriedly across NJ State Highway 29, north of the road's headquarters at Kenilworth. 

RVRR has one train crew, so the other two 2-8-0 engines not in use are sent to the Kenilworth shop for repairs and inspection. (circa 1950)

Raritan Bay Hobbies decals, had the yellow stripes and roadname. Folks comment that "the stripes were white", but never had photographic proof. Tom Piccirillo's photos set the record straight!

The paint scheme for the diesel locomotives was not custom designed for the Rahway Valley. This was a standard GE factory-applied paint scheme, including the hood and cab stripes; just the cab road name lettering was custom-applied.
