RAILROAD PLANS TO STAY
East Farewell - The mighty Keystone Railroad announced today that it would keep the East Farewell Station open on its Northeast Line indefinitely. “The Keystone Railroad feels that East Farewell is an important link in the entire system. It’s location towards the end of the line makes it an ideal destination for travelers and businesses alike,” said Charles Lumeier, Keystone spokesman.
The continuation of the use of the station was in some question since the Keystone has opened a new branch to the south of the Northeast branch and many businesses had moved there. The business shift has concerned town officials but today's announcement will be a reassuring boost. Most of East farewell's prosperity comes from the train line and the continued support from the company is an unwritten law in town.
“I don’t think there was any question, really, when you look at the lake, the beautiful scenery and wonderful downtown area, there wasn’t any question in my mind,” said Mrs. Mallard, a proprietor of local boarding house located on Lake Shore Drive.

"We are all very grateful but don't think we are completely dependant on that railroad, Oh no, we can make out just fine by ourselves. Like they say, 'You pull yourself up by your bootstraps and you know where you stand.' Other members in town hold the railroad in high esteem and generally are excited about the announcement.
