Lewistown

But early in the 1800s, trouble was brewing over control of this Northwest Territory, as it was called.

In the battles that grew out of the conflict, Captain Daniel Dobbins, a native Pennsylvanian born near Lewistown, was captured by the enemy with the fall of Detroit.

Making his escape, he found his way to Presque Isle, now Erie.

There he was ordered by General David Meade, another heroic Pennsylvanian, to report the disaster to Washington.

It's your, your heavier duty point to point lines that are the reason in most cases, the railroad exists.

So not just New York to Chicago, you know, in the case of the Onondaga cutoff from, you know, the Syracuse area between Selkirk, Albany, New York and Buffalo, New York to the west, but, not just a Burnham, Pennsylvania, for example, or a Lewistown, Pennsylvania, where you have a through route.

But any railroad that goes from point A to point B has a main line.

And it could be the smallest short line or the largest main line.

And you do that by twisting and turning your mainline and making sure the view blocks are high enough that you can't see both ends of the curve.

And that's what I picked.

I picked scenes like here, like Lewistown and Sherman's Creek and the aqueduct and the cove and places like that where you can go and sit, see a train come into the scene and see it leave the scene.

Correct.

Yep, so I'm 23 years old.

I live in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, which is where Fox Pro is headquartered.

Been here my whole life, been in Mifflin County, which is the county where Lewistown's at.

You know, been here my whole life.

Been working with the company now for right around 10 years.

And then hopefully as that grows, it turns into a, uh, a church plant.

So, um, Right now, we've got a church plant in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, just south of State College.

And we'd love it if your listeners would pray for that work.

We've been at it for not quite a year, and I'm encouraged by that.

And you have a website yet

for that church?

Yes, it's LewistownOPC.org.

So it's pretty simple website.
