"After the Wolfpit climb, the G&H continues upgrade past Gardeners, Idaville and to the Cumberland County line at Starners, where the line's top elevation of 986' is achieved. The next stop, above, was at Goodyear on the western slope of South Mountain, elevation 856'. According to a very informative slide show by a long-time railroad employee, the line was at a slightly different alignment through here at one time. The village was named Goodyear sometime after 1901, at which time it was known as Zion Church."
