Hi all, I'm Charlton. I'm relatively young being only a teenager but I love railroading and when a Historic L.V.RR Depot came under heavy threat of demolition I stood up to try and save it. That is why I am writing this post, I need as many volunteers as I can get. I am almost done filling for nonprofit status. Please take a look at my website and if you are interested in volunteering email me here: operationnjrails@gmail.com or fill out this form: https://forms.gle/KJJN4waJGWM5uvqKA

Thanks,
Charlton S.

Hi Charlton, and WELCOME TO RyPN. If you could please post an easily accessable URL for your website, it might help your cause. Many folks don't want to create an account so they can see public content. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU.

Where is this depot?

Hello Charlton, and welcome. It's nice to see another teenager on here. If I can figure out my transportation, I'd certainly consider helping out.
I wish you luck.

To the folks asking, I believe this is the website:
https://operationnjrails.godaddysites.com/

And the station being referred to is the freight station in Flemington, NJ located here:

All,

My name is Shane and can vouch for Charlton. I am also involved in the station preservation project with him. To answer any questions not yet answered, the station we are seeking to preserve is a former Lehigh Valley Railroad freight station situated in northern Flemington, New Jersey. The structure was built in 1884 and used into the 1960s as a freight depot. The plan is to relocate the structure (the means to do so is still being looked into) and relocate it elsewhere in the Flemington area. The station sits on property that is now owned by a land developer who wishes to redevelop it, and the station is in the way of this future construction. Non-profit status is still being fine tuned. Corey is correct on our website https://operationnjrails.godaddysites.com/ and the location of the station. We also have set up a GoFundMe page https://gofund.me/1ed23dca for anyone interested in helping support this cause.

We thank you if you are interested in getting involved. Don't hesitate to contact us.

Regards,
Shane
