Another RR bites the dust?

Oh, and freight traffic mostly was farm supplies, with some light manufacturing thrown in. Their freight business was taking off with several new shippers, when Hurricane Agnes wiped out the STWR's connection, the ex-PRR/NCR York-Baltimore line. At great taxpayer expense, the York-NewFreedom sement was reopened in the early 80's; however, all the former rr customers had made long-term arrangements with truckers, as the rr hadn't run in over 12 years. As a result, freight traffic was almost nonexistent. Most of STWR's operations in recent decades was of the daisey-picker persuasion. [In case you couldn't tell, I'm a bit of a Stewartstown Railroad fan! :^) ]
