I searched but didn't find a thread on this. If this is a repost, I'd ask a mod to close the thread for me.
That said, the long sought move of the NYS&W station in Hawthorne, NJ is underway. The new foundation has been excavated, walls erected and concrete floor poured. We are now waiting for the concrete to fully cure. While that takes place, some necessary repairs are being made to the station so that it can make the move safely. The project is being funded entirely by the Volunteer Railroaders Association with money raised from running passenger excursions. You can see the VRA online at http://www.vratrips.org. I hope some of you can visit the station when she's safely in her new home - 75 feet north (railroad west) of where she resides today.
