All Aboard the Train, Before it Leaves the Station
The Cumberland Valley Chapter of the National Railroad Historical Society (NRHS) will host one more opportunity to enjoy a summer train ride this season at Guilford Township’s Norlo Park.
The miniature train, complete with a cattle car and caboose, will operate (weather permitting) on Saturday, August 20, from 1 PM to 4 PM. The last train boards at 3:50 PM. It is open to riders of all ages. Donations are accepted.
Head to the Quincy Station to get your free train tickets!
NOTE: The train will NOT be running on August 6 as originally scheduled due to the lack of enough volunteer staff available that day. The final opportunity for the 2022 season will be on August 20.
The McKenzie family of New Franklin donated the train to Guilford Township. It is staffed by the members of the Cumberland Valley NRHS. The original Quincy railroad station was relocated to Norlo Park and restored to preserve a rare piece of Cumberland Valley Railroad history.
Norlo Park is off Route 30 at 3050 Lincoln Way E, Fayetteville. The railroad-themed park includes a passive display of two cabooses, a flat car, a wooden tank car, and two old railroad bridges. It is a public park on more than 140 acres of former farmland. It offers area residents access to picnic pavilions, soccer fields, softball fields, tennis and basketball courts, a dog park, walking trails, a children’s recreation area, train rides, and a display of historic Pennsylvania Railroad equipment and buildings.
