About the project

Discovering Railroad Heritage

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The workcamp consists of restoring part of the old “Jalopy Trail” or the “Miners’ Path” which was created in 1835 to transport coal, before serving to transport people and livestock from 1900 until being finally closed in 1938. It was then left unattended, so the first part of the workcamps will include clearing the weeds and then sorting out and cleaning rocks and lastly rebuilding the low stonewall and stairs.
