K & K 604

Knox & Kane Railcar # 604 Info & Gallery

        Following the demise of the Knox & Kane Railroad, the Beaver-Lawrence Railway Historical Society purchased the K&K's excursion car #604 at auction. Built on the frame of PRR caboose 980604, the car had church pew seats and no roof when it ran on the Penn View Mountain RR in Blairsville, PA. A roof was added later. The 604 moved to Gettysburg, then underwent extensive renovations before continuing its service on the K&K.

        After purchasing the car, BLRHS members spent several months planning and preparing for its move from Marienville, PA to its new home in New Castle, PA. The move took place on May 4, 2009.

        The BLRHS intends to include the 604 in our caboose rides on August 9, 2009. Click here http://www.blrhs.org/events.htm for more information. Mark your calendar and plan to visit us that day!

        Thanks to BLRHS members Nick D'Amore, Jon Meier, and Joe Jack for the following photos.

Several society members were on hand to assist including John Fishovitz who brought a fork lift and driver.	Making sure everything is properly aligned.
Almost ready.	Easy does it.
Bring 'er on back.	On the rails again! UN Tower is in the background.
