New Jersey Rescue Riders Supports Motorcycle Riders Injured on the Road

By Jackie Schatell

Motorcycle enthusiasts Russell Breninger and his wife, MaryAlice, have brought together a group of riders, called the New Jersey Rescue Riders (NJRR), who share their commitment at being prepared to respond to medical emergencies while touring the highways and backroads. NJRR offers free medical safety training and medical stand-by services to the motorcycle community and the general public. They are huge advocates of paying it forward by helping others on the road address an emergency until medical help arrives. NJRR is a 100% volunteer group drawing members from across the state and serving all of NJ.

Members of the group are volunteers who have trained, at a minimum, in basic medical emergency response skills and accident scene management to support the rescue efforts until the arrival of an ambulance. Required classes include First Aid, CPR and AED training, Stop the Bleed, and more advanced training at the discretion of the volunteer. Russell says that while you do not have to be a medical professional to join, EMTs, nurses and paramedics are among the team members and are always welcome.

Russell started NJRR because he noticed that “most people do not know what to do in an emergency and especially in the case of a crisis on the road. Often, no one takes charge which slows the necessary response.” Through the training Russell received while on a Rescue Task Force in Morris County, he saw how to address the need and a way to offer some valuable tools enabling a bystander to “be the help until help arrives.” He says that he and the members of NJRR can jump right in and lead a rescue effort. Russell shares that knowing what to do is very empowering. “NJRR is my way of giving back to the community which has offered me so much,” says Russell.

Aside from helping at accidents, by invitation, NJRR participates in events like walks, runs, motorcycle charity events, and more as the medical standby team that travels along the designated route. To become a member of NJRR or to book them to attend an event, go to njrr.us.

Treat your Grandparents to a leisurely ride on the non-profit Whippany Railway Museum’s ‘Morris & Essex Limited’ excursion train. Sit back and relax during the 45-minute, 10-mile round trip ride through Morris and Essex Counties. The kids will enjoy a ride in one of their restored historic cabooses, as they experience the way railroaders traveled and worked every day for over 130 years, when virtually every freight train in North America was trailed by a caboose.

Ride in style when you upgrade to one of their premium passenger cars. Choose from two outstanding cars: the award-winning Lackawanna Railroad Subscription Club Car No. 2454, which radiated elegance on a train once known as ‘The Millionaire’s Express’ that operated between Hoboken Terminal and Gladstone, NJ. The Central Railroad of New Jersey club car ‘Jersey Coast’ is a beautifullyrestored conveyance that features all the amenities offered by the CNJ’s deluxe Blue Comet passenger train of the 1930s. The Blue Comet ran between Jersey City and Atlantic City, NJ, and the striking paint scheme of cream and blue reminds one of a comet streaking through space.

Bring your camera—there is a large assortment of restored rail cars and locomotives at the Museum site in Whippany, along with historic railroad exhibits and operating model train layouts.

Train departures 1, 2, 3 & 4pm. Rain or shine. Train fare includes admission to museum. Whippany Railway Museum 1 Railroad Plaza in Whippany | 973-887-8177 www.WhippanyRailwayMuseum.net
