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.
The railroad-themed park includes a passive display of two cabooses, a flat car, a wooden tank car, and two old railroad bridges.
Norlo Park is located off Route 30 at 3050 Lincoln Way E, Fayetteville. 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.
