Stewartstown R.R. Locomotive 'Facilities'
Grab Bag
Help
These days, many railroads are giving-up stationary fueling facilities in favor of fuel delivered directly from private suppliers' fuel trucks. Locally on the San Francisco Peninsula, both UP and Caltrain gas-up their locos from fuel trucks. But NOT the mighty seven mile Stewartstown R.R. of Pennsylvania, by golly! It serviced its locomotives the old-fashioned way! Or, at least it did in 1996 when Wx4 Staff took these photos. We hope that those folks found their dog.
Note the passenger cars in the background, below. At the time Stewartstown - which apparently closed down some time ago - ran a summer excursion service (nope, I didn't ride - wrong time of year).
While were at it, we might as well throw-in a photo of the engine house:
