<P>Re: the recent discussion of the Stewartstown RR and its possible demise.. I just found a webpage for this RR, which shows a year 2000 schedule, plus some photos. See the link below. The webpage had had only 46 visitors when I looked at it.<p>I visited the line last year while at car-knocker school for Conrail. It is an original, perhaps the best preserved of the standard gauge shortlines visited in Mixed Train Daily. The remains of one of the railbusses is said to exist on a farm nearby (can anyone confirm this?. <p>The present equipment is the usual admixture found at any tourist line, but I can see it with a 2-6-0 twin of No. 5 brought up from Cuba and converted to coal, with some "borrowed" PRR coaches (so lettered)- a 1930s excursion our from Philadelphia perhaps?<p>Unlike most tourist RRs and museums, which are in effect big model railroad layouts that never existed in "real life", the Stewartstown is a genuine historic property that should be preserved as such.<p><br> ryarger1@nycap.rr.com |
