The Stewartstown Railroad has been a small town Pennsylvania institution since 1885. Like many railroads, there are ups and downs throughout its history, some much bigger than others. But the Stewartstown is a survivor, rising from the ashes time and again. Now the railroad is thriving and expanding.
This film shows many of those trials and tribulations from the past, as well as more recent operational highlights and a look into the railroad’s future. The inspirational story of the Stewartstown is not one to miss!

In this 3rd BJVP Blu-Ray & DVD from one of the most noteworthy Railfans on every Social Media Platform: Mostly Youtube, Instagram, & Facebook, it starts with a history of this unique short-line railroad in Pennsylvania which includes Still Images from the Early Years to the present day. There is even an article from the official Trains magazine website on July 8, 2011. Not to mention what is left of the original railroad as even though most of the tracks are still intact despite it is covered by trees, grass, concrete & other objects, some of the buildings have since transformed into other things, including the bridge supports, as well as some fillings where trains used to go through. Some 8mm silent film clips with the Plymouth Switcher on freight duty is included.
Did you know that the Northern Central was formed with 4 railroads in 1854? There’s the Susquehanna, Baltimore & Susquehanna, York & Cumberland, & York & Maryland. Speaking of the Northern Central, a cameo shot of 4-4-0 number 17 on the Steam into History line is featured.
Aside from witnessing the Stewartstown’s own little diesels, there is also a special segment with a visit from Jeddo Coal 0-4-0 tank engine number 85 from father & son team: John & Byron Gramling who also owns & operates Flagg Coal 0-4-0 tank engine number 2/75, & Lehigh Valley 0-6-0 Tank Engine number 126.
What’s also unique but still interesting the most, is that it also has an option of watching the main program with On-Screen Subtitles, rather than turning the Narration on or off.
Did you know that in 1923, the Stewartstown owned its first rail bus number 7 called “Snookie”? It can carry 42 people at only 35 miles per hour. Sadly, it was retired before WWII, & since 1990, it is at a nearby farm.
And did you know that at the very end of the 1930s, the final steam engine to operate on the line was 2-6-0 number 5 due to its broken firebox sheets?
Plymouth switcher 8 was built in 1946, & scrapped after 1960.
