Comfortable evenings, sitting on the gazebo outside a bedroom door, are lightened by the soft colors glowing from these two Chesapeake & Ohio Railway switchstand lights. The light with green and red lenses and reflectors was located on a switchstand where a siding converged with a mainline track. The light with green and yellow lenses and reflectors was located on a switchstand where another side track or spur converged with the siding track.
From collecting small datenails found in discarded railroad crossties to actual railroad structures, the passion for railroad history is manifested and displayed in our garden which is shown below. For us, the collection and arrangement of three dozen pieces from seven railroads makes our own Railroad Relic Sculpture Garden. Having 10 plus acres helps keep normal life and the railroad collection in perspective. Our goal is to stimulate our visitors to want to learn more after leaving.
