Stewartstown Railroad
The Stewartstown Railroad is a heritage railroad that operates in Stewartstown, Pennsylvania.
Chartered in 1884 by local interests in the Stewartstown area, and opened in 1885, the Stewartstown Railroad survives today in very much original condition, and retains its original corporate charter. Back in service since 2015, the railroad has a crew of volunteers working on operations. Currently, passenger and tourist trains operate out of the Stewartstown Railroad Station, for either Caboose rides or motorcar rides, approximately a mile down the line and back. Former Reading Railroad coach 1341 is expected to be back in service in December 2016.
The Shrewsbury Railroad Station, Stewartstown Railroad Station, and Stewartstown Engine House at Stewartstown are listed on the National Register of Historic Places in York County, Pennsylvania. Also listed are the Deer Creek Bridge, Ridge Road Bridge, Stone Arch Road Bridge, and Valley Road Bridge.[1][2]
