Photos: New vintage railroad car rolls into Stewartstown providing handicapped access

A ramp is put in place to let gravity help load a transfer caboose from the 1960s on to the tracks at the Stewartstown Railroad Company on Jan. 18, 2021.

David Williamson, president of the Stewartstown Railroad Company, cranks the brakes down on the transfer caboose after it came to a halt at the end of the track.

The transfer caboose will provide handicapped access and a four-car train for the Stewartstown Railroad after a lift or ramp is built to accommodate loading. The modified rail car was used on the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad in larger cities to shuttle railroad crews.

A 27-ton caboose is delivered to the Stewartstown Railroad via truck. Watch a timelapse the 30 minute delivery as it rolls down a ramp.
