Friends of the Stewartstown Railroad Our members assist the railroad company with its maintenance and excursion projects.

The Friends is an independent nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt membership organization founded in 2006 dedicated to the preservation of the Stewartstown Railroad. We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt membership organization dedicated to the preservation of the Stewartstown Railroad, a 7.4 miles long shortline railroad founded in 1884 and opened in 1885 by the farmers and merchants in the Stewartstown, PA area in southern York County. Donations to the Friends are generally tax-deductible, however, since each individual's income tax situation is unique, we suggest you confer with your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of your intended gift. In July 2013 the Friends made a minority equity investment in the Stewartstown Railroad Company as part of the railroad company's debt refinancing program.

🚂 Ever Wonder How “Mighty Mo” Got Its Name?
It's a question we've heard from passengers many times aboard the Stewartstown Railroad. For years, even our dedicated volunteers didn't know the answer. But thanks to a little
digging into railroad history, we may have finally uncovered the story!
According to the book Pennsylvania Short Lines,
our beloved Mighty Mo once served in the United States Navy!
During its Navy days, employees reportedly gave the powerful gasoline locomotive the affectionate nickname “Mighty Mo” as a patriotic tribute to the legendary
battleship USS Missouri, a massive warship known for its incredible size, strength, and power.

What better name for a hardworking little locomotive with a mighty big personality?

Want to see Mighty Mo in action? Mighty Mo will be making a rare appearance pulling our Fall Foliage Express! November 7th
