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.

@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.

Very cool dude.
Are you sure this is Butler County, PA. I live between Transfer and Fredonia, PA in Mercer County, PA.
Thanks again!

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.
