When Riverview Beach Park closed in 1968, one of the local landowners, who was a lifelong visitor to the park,
offered to buy the Riverview Beach Park train. After some negotiation, the park owners took his offer and sold him
the train.
It took Bob Stanton and several friends a month to remove the track and move it and the cars 15 miles to his farm.
Bob then laid about 100 feet of the track in his pasture and put the engine and cars on it.
Bob also owns the original railroad from his other favorite park, the old Woodside Park in Phila. So he combined
the tracks and the useable cars and parts to create his own railroad. He then named it the Riverview & Woodside
Railroad (after the two amusement parks).
