2002 in Adams Co.PA.: 27 independent VFDs
2012 : 18 original vfds remaining
3 vfds gone for various reasons (Aspers, Kingsdale, Midway)
6 vfds merge (Abbottstown & New Oxford become new co. UNITED #33)
(Brushtown,Conewago,Centennial, McSherrystown become new co. S.A.V.E.S #29)
Who's next? A harbinger of the future for other places?

When did Aspers and Midway close? I snapped a photo of Aspers Station when I was down for the SPAAMFA Winter convetion in Gettysburg in February, and I thought it looked awefully run down, tremendously overgrown with weeds, but the rigs where still inside, except 1 older 1 sitting out back in the weeds.
