Norfolk-Southern Enola Yard volunteers sign on to help improve River Arches

Norfolk-Southern Enola Diesel Shop Senior Foreman, Archie Glace, has coordinated with DATC and signed on his employee volunteer team to come to Duncannon on Saturday, May 12th, and make improvements for access to the river through the archways at Ann St. and Margretta St.

The project will likely entail scraping sediment that has built up over the years, digging a drainage trench for stormwater run-off and clearing brush to the drainage swales at the base of the tracks.  This will serve to improve pedestrian and boating access to river from the downtown areas for residents and folks coming into town for a paddle.  Blue Mountain Outfitters in Marysville also often uses these arches to put-in river trips.

PA-225 Parking Lot

Last year the NSCorp Enola team coordinated with Susquehanna Appalachian Trail Club and did awesome work making improvements to the parking lot and trail-head at PA-225 on Peters Mountain.  As you can see from the recent photo at left, it gets heavy use!  We thank them for their efforts to support the A.T. and the A.T. Community initiative in Duncannon.


NS Corp will also have a table at the June 2nd event in addition to various other informational and retail vendors posted on the Event page.  "Before" photos of the Ann St. arch posted below.  "After" photos to come in May!
