Tri-States Railway Preservation Society
The Tri-States Railway Preservation Society, a wholly owned subsidiary of TOYX, studies and preserves the railroad history of Orange County. Tri-States is a separate 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a charter from the New York State Board of Education to maintain a museum exhibit of railroad memorabilia and artifacts.
Society activities aim to manage and care for all existing museum exhibits, collect and catalog artifacts, interpret the history of the local railroads as well as other major regional railways, research and mount new exhibits, and help preserve places, records, and equipment of earlier times.

The 600-square-foot boxcar museum includes historic railroad artifacts and photographs unique to the railroad history of Port Jervis. Additional exhibits at the Erie Turntable are open for special events; for information on hours and admission, please click here.
