1912 L&RNG overpass on Eckman Road
My "Illustrated Historical Atlas of Lancaster County" purchased from the Lancaster County Historical Society contains the 1898 maps of the county showing the railroads in detail. One of them, labeled "Lancaster and Reading Narrow Gauge" is the subject of my post today.
As-built, the railroad was not narrow gauge, but standard. The last part of it around Quarryville, PA was abandoned in the 1970's. There are still relics to be seen like shown in the photographs. The West Willow station had a "For Rent" sign on it when I was there in December 2007. The Eckman Road overpass makes a splendid fortified-looking entrance for a private home.
