Preservation Projects
Caboose 21165
One of our biggest accomplishments has been the acquisition and preservation of the Conrail N7E caboose number 21165. Our caboose was graciously donated to the CRHS and is currently undergoing restoration while still being used in revenue service at the Middletown and Hummelstown Railroad near Hershey, PA.
Preservation of a MP242.7 Signal Head
Change on the Pittsburgh Line is a constant. With some generous help, the CRHS has preserved a signal head from the MP 242.7 signal bridge. This signal bridge sat just west of the world famous Horseshoe Curve, and was a fixture of the line from the early 20th century through the fall of 2009.
The Preservation of the Berea Ohio Signals
