I was surprised to see this the first time I went to maze quest.
About half the row is now local roads.

Just curious what is left of the NPFG. Is the ROW more or less intact? Any bridges, abutments, or other interesting remnants left? Who owns the ROW today -- STRT or did it revert to adjacent landowners? Has there been any interest in a NPFG rail trail for hiking and biking? Thanks, Jeff |

The ROW is definitely less intact, I'd say. There are certain structures that do exist - some bridge abutments - also the former Fawn Grove station (which is a private home) and engine house in Fawn Grove (now part of a store) are still standing. |

I spent about an hour going through public records, looks like it all reverted back as a ROW, except station areas and such there really wasn't owned real estate similar to the strt |

If you want more information on the NP & FG - I can suggest at least two resources, one of which was extremely helpful to my own research. The first one is "The Story of the Stewartstown Railroad", by Eric Bickleman: https://www.amazon.com/story-Stewartsto ... 0965123502 The second, if you're more of a visual learner - is "The Stewartstown Railroad: The Deer Creek Valley Line" by a certain video producer (I won't say who): https://vrf.tv/productions/the-stewarts ... alley-line https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU4qzX0ZN3g |
