Preserving Southern Delaware's Rich Railroad History
The historic preservation work of the LJR&BA has been recognized in proclamations of commendation by the State of Delaware.

LJR&BA has exciting plans for our interpretive display of railroad rolling stock on the preserved section of track right next door to the Lewes Public Library. Already in place is our Red Caboose (Cabin Car) that operated on the rail line during the last run of the Delaware Coastline Railroad in 2017. It is opened for tours and can be explored the first and third Sundays of every month. In addition, a unique steam locomotive (B6sa#60) – in fact the last of its kind - has been identified and secured. We are seeking funds from those interested in preserving the history of our railroad heritage to help us restore the locomotive and move it to join the caboose on the preserved track next to the library. When completed, the “Lewes Junction” site will be a prime location for activities and events to educate visitors and residents alike about the importance of the railroad to the history of Lewes and the region.
