Notes About Existing Stations...

Chambersburg (Replica) - This replica station was built by Bill Putch, husband of Jean Stapleton. It was supposedly built to the specifications of a real station. 

Greencastle (PRR) - This was known as the Greencastle "highline" station.

Mont Alto (Mont Alto RR) - This station most recently served as a teen center and polling place. It now (as of 2009) is vacant. 

Quincy (Mont Alto RR) - This station has been moved at least two times and is in good condition. Station was bought by Bill Putch, Producing Director of Totem Pole Playhouse and husband of actress Jean Stapleton, and moved to his Caledonia Station Restaurant on US 30 in 1982. Purchased by James Fouchard in 1987 and later moved to another site on US 30. Acquired by Guilford Township in 2008. Moved to Norlo Park and restored to Cumberland Valley/PRR color scheme from information provided by Mr. Fouchard.
