First four photos taken Fall 1980.

View of the North end, trackside. The inside is bare frame painted the almost-black Brunswick green at the bottom, with white above.

View of the South end, trackside. The size and location of the sign is obvious, just to the right of the door.

View from the South end, back side. Even in 1980 there was no evidence of a floor. Also, note that there are no windows, just two doorways.

Following photos are of the moving operation in August, 2001

This is the way we found her at 10:24AM on Aug. 4. The dirt road is what's left of the SR&RL grade.

We didn't waste too much time. By 12:30 we had braced the inside with 2x6's and were jacking the North end of the structure so we could back the trailer under it.

By 1:14PM we had the structure fully on the trailer. The last of our jacks and blocks are being stowed away, and we are ready to go.

At 1:29PM we had climbed the hill and were about to pass the farmhouse. Yes, we did stop in the driveway so that the owners could take one last photo.

After an uneventful move, Maplewood sits on the trailer parked behind the Old Stone Fort. She has since been lowered off the trailer onto blocks. It will be many man-hours of work, but the framework and siding are really not all that bad. The roof is quite a different story though! On seeing it for the first time in 20 years, Al Houghton described the roof as a colander.

Well, in 2001 we moved it to Phillips, but now the first of the restoration work has begun. The new Maplewood site has been cleared, footers and blocks set, and 8 x 8's in place. Dave Coffin helped John Stinchfield set the building in place on Jan 5, 2002. John took the roof off for safety reasons and made new rafters that can be seen sitting against the end wall.

This is the interior of Maplewood after the floor and roof have been added.

With a new roof, it looks like a proper shelter again. This is the way Maplewood finished the 2002 season. Obviously, it still needs shingles, cornice trim, some siding repair, and paint. Eventually, there will be a platform built in front of the building similar to the one at Sanders Station.

Why do steps forward often look like a step backward? Here the old siding has been mostly stripped in preparation for new siding and paint.

Finally, it looks like it is supposed to. There will be a siding and passenger platform built in front of this station as it will be the stop for our roundhouse tour.

Hello, Found this picture of the old Maplewood station . It was taken from my Great Grandfathers farm. The Lisherness farm. Hope you can use this picture. Yours Truly, Charlie A Gassett [webmaster: Thanks Charlie]
