The critical references (which include photos) would likely start with:

The Rahway Valley was in New Jersey. Don’t know its present status - I haven’t been in that area for several decades.

Or an even more generic solution when looking for information on a RR:

go to http://www.google.com/ enter search terms - in this case Rahway Valley Railroad, and click on search

The first two hits seems promising :
http://www.trainsarefun.com/rvrr/rvrr.htm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahway_Valley_Railroad

Then you will have quite a bit of general background information on the Rahway Valley, allowing you to post more questions on stuff you don’t find on those web pages in the trains.com web forums.

Where you will find lots and lots of helpful people who knows quite a bit about trains (I try to be helpful, too - but can’t classify myself as someone who knows lots and lots about trains [:)])
