One of the original rails remains on the old Stewartstown Railroad bed. Background posts: Stewartstown Railroad: 'Truly a unique entity in the state, and possibly, the nation' and 'Yesteryears' southern York County sites and All Stewartstown-related posts from the start.
Doug Winemiller is one of the leading preservationists working to get the Stewartstown Railroad operating again.
In past e-mails, he's noted that many of the original rails are still in place on the line, a shortline that hauled agricultural products between Stewartstown and points east with the Northern Central Railroad at New Freedom.

Winemiller's preservation group, Friends of the Stewartstown Railroad , are renewing repair work on the station, concentating on the old building's roof. (Click here to see the work calendar.)
They truly are striving to live up to their motto: "A new voice for an old friend."
