By 1897, Mountain Springs Lake was a source and ice would be cut into cubes and delivered to Wilkes-Barre and surrounding ar- eas. The railway soon extended its services to Towanda, which was about an 80-mile trip. Because the railway had a very tough time traveling through the “rugged terrain,” an engine in the front and rear were required, Owens said. By 1930’s, automobiles were more readily available and pas- senger cars were no longer used. The Bowman’s Creek Extension began its life in 1886 and was ulti- mately shut down in 1964, said the College Misericordia archi- vist Harrison Wick. Many of the people who gath- ered to take in the night's event seemed to have something to with trains or the rail line. Many had property adjacent to the old railway. “I learned a lot and enjoyed it,” said David Grover. “I build (mini) locomotives for a living and used to work at Steamtown in Scran- ton, servicing locomotives.” Doug and Jody Ayers of Noxen helped preserve the last histori- cal piece of the train line — the Noxen Station. Doug, who began the North Branch Land Trust said the station was rotting away when he first saw it. “Now it’s in good form and vis- itors from all over come and see it,” he said. “We need to preserve the heri- tage so others can take part in the history of the area,” Grove added. The Back Mountain Historical Society meets twice a year at Col- lege Misericordia. The next meeting will be held on Wednes- day, April 19. The presentation will be about amusement parks in the Back Mountain area. - Everyone is invited and there is no charge. Snacks and beverages will be provided. - APPLE Continued from Page 1 overweight.

Both schools have recently re- ceived grants to develop walking paths. Pennsylvania Advocates for Nutrition and Activity recent- ly provided a $2,000 grant to Dal- las Elementary and a local pro- gram called Steps to a Healthier Luzerne County provided a “I'm sure you've heard this before, but this gener- ation of children could be the first to not outlive their parents.
