Parlor car re-railed
Title:  Parlor car re-railed
Description:  The able-bodied train crew with help from some able-bodied passengers were able to lift the parlor car back onto the rails by hand. We pushed the parlor bar backwards to the first grade crossing (about 200 yards) where some rail jacks and crow bars were delivered by Stewartstown RR volunteers. We used the parlor car to deliver the re-railing tools to the derailment site.
