Detailed map

Detailed map JoeBrennan (talk) 14:15, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For a very good map, see USGS 1:62500 scale Pennsylvania, Quarryville Quadrangle, Edition of June 1912. It shows the entire railroad from Peters Creek/Peach Bottom station on the Susquehanna east as far as Hopewell, just outside of Oxford. It also shows the entire branch from Fairmont to Quarryville, where it ends at the Pennsylvania Railroad station.JoeBrennan (talk) 14:39, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some surviving right of way

The following is in the original research category, but this is talk, not the article. Starting near the Susquehanna, I see a building claimed to be Dorsey Station, 1876, and it looks old enough for me to believe, and so it might be the only existing LO&SR station house. Next along, a road on the hillside called Arcadia Trace seems to be on the right of way, and after roughly a mile another road called Westbrook Road seems to continue it a little further before we lose it. A ways north of that, from an east-west road called Goshen Mill Road, Pilgrim's Path seems to be on the right of way, running north and then curving east,but then it leaves thr r-o-w, which is continued by a farm lane (private), bringing us to Fulton House. Not related to the railroad, but fun to know: that farm house is the birthplace of Robert Fulton, who created the North River Steamboat.JoeBrennan (talk) 18:27, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
