Lewes Junction Railroad & Bridge Association

Work on PRR B6sa #60 has been paused the last few weeks. However on Tuesday the cab will arrive and FMW will resume work. They estimate about 2 weeks to complete their work which includes installing the cab, installing some miscellaneous pieces including the rods and sand dome, and finishing the painting.

In the meantime, 60 looks fresh and clean in front of the faux Lewes Passenger Station.

Reports say there's still draft beer and cans left. But if you're in the area, you might want to get them before they're gone.

This Saturday May 9th 12-9 PM New Beer release. Lewes Junction Lager with a portion of sales going to the Lewes Junction RailRoad & Bridge Association.
Live Music, Foodtruck, Beer and Wine.
Walk up the trail to the Lewes Library and visit the restored Engine, Tender and Caboose.
We are thrilled to be part of this as my Father and Uncle both retired from the Railroad.

For anyone looking to join the festivities, here is a quick breakdown of what’s happening:
The Main Attraction: The release of Lewes Junction Lager. It’s a "beer with a mission," as a portion of the sales goes directly to the Lewes Junction Railroad & Bridge Association to help preserve local history.
The Vibe: You can expect an afternoon of live music, food truck eats, and a selection of beer and wine.
The Experience: Since the brewery is right near the trail, it’s a perfect opportunity to walk up to the Lewes Public Library to see the restored Engine, Tender, and Caboose in person.

It’s great to see the community coming together to support the preservation of the railroad heritage.

Tomorrow is Train Day. FMW Solutions personnel worked hard to get engine 60 ready for the big day.

The jacketing, headlight, number board and bell are installed. Late today, the tender and caboose were moved behind the engine. We now have our yard train, minus the engine cab.

If you are in the area tomorrow, why not check out Train Day ? It starts at 10:00. The engine will be christened around 11:00.

Update on engine 60. The bell and number board are installed. Jacketing is currently being applied.
