Saturday, April 10, 2010 Work session to concentrate on repairing the small washout just west of Waltemeyer Schoolhouse Road crossing #3. Meet at the station in Stewartstown at 9:00 a.m. The previous work session on March 27 was successful in reopening the entire line from Stewartstown to New Freedom for motorcar and maintenance vehicles. Fortunately the three winter snow storms and rains did little additional damage to the line. |

April 10, 2010 Work Session Update A volunteer crew repaired the washout on the line just west of Waltemeyer crossing #3 (the westernmost of the three Waltemeyer crossings) during this session. A crew a few days earlier dropped-off some materials and did some preparatory work for the April 10th crew. The Friends of the Stewartstown Railroad has added a PayPal link to its website to facilitate donations to its upcoming capital campaign. Visit the site at http://www.stewartstownrailroad.com |
