While the Raritan Valley Rail Coalition partially achieved one of its main objectives in March 2014 with the start of a one-seat ride to and from New York City on NJ Transit trains during middays, the Coalition continues to push for improvements. On Monday morning, the group held a membership meeting at Westfield Town Hall. Somerset County Freeholder Peter Palmer, who is the chairman of the rail group, gave an update on what needs to be done now.

Cynthia Dawley is the president of the conservancy and Linda Livelli is in-charge of this year’s race. Cranford Radio spoke with them to learn more about Hanson Park and the race.

We spoke with Sean Lough, the director and performers Colleen Renee (Queenie), Shane Long (Burrs) and Elizabeth Allen (Nadine) to hear about the production.
