This would last until Marathon no longer runs trains During 2002, a new shop building is erected in Butler to replace Newfoundland – the Maywood Restoration Committee is formed and absorbed into the Society to restore Maywood Station, which began work June 3. Station eventually becomes home to NYS&W archives. During 2003, track was installed in Butler building. Society received THSX mark. By this time, we purchased 142, five LI cars, nine SPVs and nine Metra B bi-levels. Six bi-levels and two SPVs were traded away for four NYSW (ex-LI) cars and other benefits, and will gain a caboose on static display in Maywood. The SPVs and 4 of the 5 LI cars would be scrapped by 2011.
