The Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad Preservation Society reported: Severe flooding at Muddy Creek Forks. The store basement was completely flooded and at the height of the flood water was 6" over the floor of the mill. The store basement has been pumped out, but the floor and everything in the basement is covered with a thick layer of mud. The Repair Shop is in total shambles, as water was above the level of the sink. There is a great deal of erosion around the store and in the field, and our large sign with map of the village washed away. We have not yet assessed track damage, but we have been told that the track is washed off the right of way in several locations. We are going to need a great deal of help to recover from this natural disaster. We will begin the cleanup on Monday, Sept. 3. We will start work at 9 a.m. Please come out to help if you can. Bring friends and neighbors if you know anyone else willing to help.
