The Newtown Square Railroad Historical museum will open officially to the public on Saturday 10/15. This new museum covers the history of the Newtown Square branch on the PRR from Phila to Newtown Square. There are exhibits of rolling stock as well as a 1895 freight station. The interior of the freight station has many interesting exhibits of a gone by era. If your in the area of the surburb's Phila, please drop by and say hello.D. Grant

Yes, This is the same museum. The work has not yet begun on the coach but this is the next project. The coach is covered and is in good shape.The caboose, freight car and steam engine took most of the effort so far along with finishing the freight station as a museum.Don

Which steam engine is there? Perhaps it has been discussed before, but I missed it.
