Take a day (or half thereof) while at York and ride on the New Freedom Train, "Steam into History".  BlimpMan and I did the trip last October and it is highly recommended.  Link above...you may have to copy and paste.

that would be a great side trip for York week, seems they only run on weekends, it would be nice if they scheduled the Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of York week and advertised it with the TCA. I know our whole contingent from NJHR would go. I just emailed them with York meet attendance figures, I hope this will sway them.

The station at New Freedom is about 6 miles west of Exit 4 on I-83 south of York.

 

Follow Route 851 west through Shrewsbury and Railroad (great place for a photo).

In New Freedom, the street ends at a "T" intersection. Turn left. The station/gift shop is ahead on the right. Turn right and go past the station to the parking lot.

 

President Abraham Lincoln rode on the Northern Central to Hanover Junction, where he changed trains on his way to deliver his Gettysburg Address during the dedication of the National Cemetery there.

 

No. 17 rolled out of the [David] Kloke Locomotive Works, Elgin, IL, in May, 2013! The Reader Railroad in Arkansas built a matching wooden combine and a coach this past summer.
