[A]n unlikely group of history buffs, rail aficionados, carpenters, architects and accountants recently joined forces to save a 131-year-old Victorian-style train station in Maywood, New Jersey. The station will soon join a growing number of stations restored to their past glory, a string of Jersey towns along an old rail line. The effort has regenerated an interest in the town of Maywood and its history.
