Steam Coming to the York-Hanover Junction Area | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

BnO_HendoOGR Forum Member

I don't know how this slipped under my radar, but they are building a steam excursion line that will encompass Hanover Junction in PA! They're having their own 1860s steam engine built, similar to THE LEVIATHAN! It's to be named YORK. Excursions are to begin in June. They are hoping to make it a regular attraction like Strasburg. I live within driving distance and am SO looking forward to this!

Great looking engin.

Hope to see it run we would take a ride out to see that.

Thanks for the info.

I've been in touch with one of the directors. They are calling it "The Northern Central" and it's emphasis will be on CW era railroading. It's amazing in this day and age that they found the funding to do this. I know I'll be there!

The Northern Central was a predecessor of the mighty Pennsylvania Railroad.

Fantastic Vince! I am SOOO excited about this! It's under an hour's drive from where I live, and I so like the 1860s steam era!
