Un Tower Building restored by BLRHS.org - 2005 picture

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE WORK DAYs AT UN TOWER ........ the tower is in need of a good clean-out old faded signs gunny paint cans an general clutter that is old and in no need of being around also the tower needs some paint scraping on the outside .......some questionable wood work and railing also exists plan on a grungy day of work wear expendable clothes its most likely going to be a hot day in July .......some bottled water is a plus also for general cleaning issues a few gallons of wash water and a couple bottles of 409 cleaner would be a good idea paint scraper tools too.

The old UN Tower before restoration - in very rough condition!  

 

The group purchased and restored a railroad tower, called the UN Tower because of its location near Union Valley Road. The tower, once located near the train station, was moved into Mahoningtown, PA.

UN Tower received a fresh coat of paint in June 2009.

The BVJC hosted a day of railroad events in conjunction with the Mahoningtown Community Day on Sunday, August 14, 2005 to raise funds to restore this Un Tower Building. Below is the announcement for that event.

The UN Tower location (click for map) will be the site of train rides in vintage cabooses, speeder car rides, railroad equipment & model train displays, vendors, a food booth and more. Nearby Darlington Park will feature more of the Mahoningtown Days Festival, including arts and crafts, live entertainment and more food booths.

Train rides and other BVJC events will run from 11 AM to 4 PM. The train ride lasts about a half hour, and the fare is $5 for adults and $3 for children ages 2 to 10.

The BVJC has participated in this event for several years and it is always fun. So please stop by and bring the family; there will be something for everyone and it's a great chance to find out what the BVJC is all about and what we do.

(The monthly chapter meeting will be held at UN Tower following the festival. You need not be a member to attend.)
