I wouldn't say it was substantial, but it was business that kept them running until the end of 2005.Ģ/3.
No other trackside business was to be seen anywhere.ġ. When I drove along this line, the ONLY industry I saw was some type of lumber operation, and the rails there were rusty. If so, when did the quit shipping, and why? If so, what industries did they serve and where were they located?ģ. Did the K&K ever have any substantial freight business?Ģ.

I believe that VALE is almost complete with restoration of the Mike, but I haven't heard much on the 2-8-0 other than it was at the Western Maryland Scenic for restoration. The Mike went to the Valley RR in CT, and the Baldwin went to the Everette RR in Hollidaysburg. I'm not aware of any vandalism after it made it to Maryland. Georges Creek won the Geep at the 10/2008 liquidation auction after it was burnt in the Kane engine house arson fire along with the Mikado, the Baldwin 2-8-0, and the D&H "President's Car".
