Northern Central at Railroad Park—December 2025

The former Pennsylvania Railroad Northern Central route passes Railroad Park in the appropriately named borough of Railroad, Pa.

Kris, Seamus-the-Dog & I, revisited this iconic location last weekend to withness the passing of Northern Central Railway’s Santa Express holiday train.

This was powered by a former Pennsylvania Railroad GP9, one of only a few to survive into the modern era.
