- The Stewartstown Railroad is unique. It still operates under its original charter from 1884. It runs from Stewartstown, Pennsylvania to New Freedom, Pennsylvania on 7.4 miles of track.
The railroad has had its troubles, but it has never been bought, merged, sold, or bankrupt. That's quite a story in today's world.
Poppins and I take a ride with its crew in the cab of the locomotive to explore this unique piece of American history.

Have lived near Stewartstown for years and remember a lot of the disrepair and neglect throughout the 2000s
Glad to see where things are now!! I actually now live about 0.1 miles up the road now. I hear them all the time diring summer and had been considering volunteering. Will definitely have to look into it!!
Thank you so much for showcasing Stewartstown Railroad. This is an awesome video. Dee-Stewartstown volunteer

I'm a huge Train Fan and never been to Stewartstown before! However now with your well done video and all the gathered info you were able to squeeze into it, I can't wait to visit there in person! Well Done!!

Hey I known that place I live there
It would have been alot more cooler if they had the original steam train pulling the passenger train cars It would make it more arigional from when it was first built
Another great video. Hope to randomly run into you two at home in Michigan one day. Happy Holidays
That would be great! Happy Holidays!
This area has so much history in and experiencing this train had to be really cool. 👍
It was! I hope you are adventuring well!
Can they ship freight?
I believe they can as a common carrier. However, the track is isolated these days without a connection to the mainline.
@@RestlessViking what shippers did they used to have?
@@wavesnbikes I don't know. I do know that in the 1960s, they lost all of their shippers because the connecting line of another railroad (from New Freedom) was destroyed and abandoned. Before then, agricultural products was their main product along with a couple of manufacturers.
@@RestlessViking thanks!
Awesome video ! You find the most interesting stuff to show on your channel .
Thanks much Doug!
Actually there was another station on another leg of the wye. It was wood and looked like the present station. It was still there in 1972.
Great episode, My cousin got me into the love of real and model trains! He lives in Kentucky, I can't wait to be with him and go on this train! Great video, and thank you for sharing! Poppins got into the theater mode quick!!!!!!!
LOL. Yes she did!
Holy crap Chuck & Poppins! You were in my town!!!!!!!!! We would have taken you guys out for crab cakes. I just found your channel and then you were in Stewartstown.
No way! Of all the towns - Stewartstown. We had a blast there, I may go back to document working on a work crew - but not sure yet.
@@RestlessViking Yes… surprised you found Stewartstown of all places! Crab cakes if you return! And a sweet drink for Poppins.
