The railroad's founder David Gring, who previously ran the Diamond Valley Railroad in
Huntingdon County, relocated and reutilized his two locomotives from his previous venture, which were a Portable Saddle Tanker 0-6-0 steam locomotive and a 4-4-0 steam locomotive from the
Kane and Elk Railroad. The rail line carried lumber, and transferred it to the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Newport. The right of way was extended to an uncompleted
tunnel through
Conococheague Mountain, started in an attempt to connect with the
Path Valley Railroad. This right of way was later used by the
Perry Lumber Company Railroad. ==Gallery==
