This is absolutely wonderful! The remains of the barn were still smoldering over the weekend and it was impossible to not see the devastation from the train. Thanks Strasburg Railroad! |

I can't make the trip but is there a way to donate to the effort? Kudos to you and everyone for helping out a neighbor. |

This is what good neighbors do. A huge part of the Strasburg is the fact it lays in such beautiful, undisturbed farm country. How wise and decent of you to recognize a significant portion of the railroad's charm coming from your line side friends. Well done. |

Many thanks for the links! That's quite an outpouring of support in such a short time. |

As a previous (and regular!) customer of both Strasburg and Lerro this is just such a wonderful thing to do. I have photographed that barn (both with the train, and from the train) many times. Hoping to make it for the event but really should buy a ticket either way since this is such a great cause. |

Sounds like there will be an old fashioned barn raising soon. Later! Mr. Ed |

The latest update says a locomotive will be lettered as U.S. Army and shows a vintage photo of an 0-6-0 tank U.S. army engine. There's only 1 locomotive at Strasburg that fits that bill! |
