Welcome to the Friends of the Stewartstown Railroad, Inc.

The Friends of the Stewartstown Railroad, Inc., is a Pennsylvania non-stock nonprofit corporation, tax-exempt under IRS regulation section 501(c)(3), operated by unpaid volunteers dedicated to the preservation of the Stewartstown Railroad.

Many members of the Friends perform volunteer work on the Stewartstown Railroad ranging from hosting “open house” events at the railroad’s main station in Stewartstown, building maintenance, equipment maintenance, track repairs, and brush cutting along the right of way, just to name a few tasks. Some of the Friends members have also been trained by the Stewartstown Railroad Company to operate railroad equipment as part of the train crew.

Membership in the Friends is open to all who have an interest in railroads, history, and the Stewartstown Railroad in particular.
