@robnjen330 Yeah that was about 25+ years ago now... I'm friends with the folks across the street that have the farm on the corner. He told me about that. Sucks that a lot of gear went to scrap because of that.

Just to keep things safe, Dave M lives at the farm. But the old station was an arson job. It's a shame too, there was a lot of old signals and equipment in there that got destroyed.

Kleetus92, how did the station burn down?

[delaney60]

Very cool dude.

Are you sure this is Butler County, PA. I live between Transfer and Fredonia, PA in Mercer County, PA.

Thanks again!

[kleetus92]

Yeah, really sure, lol... just down the street from my buddy's farm! First intersection from 228 on Saxonburgh Blvd. Used to have a station here at Ivywood. Burned down about 10 or so years ago.

Is that Butler county?

Yep...

[Wa3ypx]

is this video taken on a back road between Transfer and Fredonia, PA?
