Railroad maintenance required constant labor from skilled workers and day laborers who graded land, built trestles, laid and realigned tracks, and kept the line in repair. Known as gandy dancers, they were often Irish immigrants, including Richard Stanton, who served as road-master and supervised his crew around 1900. Although the tracks are gone, the railbed and some rail-side buildings remain. The Howard Haight & Co. building, built in 1890, stored and sold flour, feed, grain, hay, and straw, and later received coal by rail from eastern Pennsylvania. A tall elevator tower, now gone, stored goods transferred from the box cars below. Railroad service ended in the 1930s, and the Haight Building later housed Merritt Books.
