The historic former Pennsylvania Railroad’s Northern Central route between York and New Freedom, Pa., serves as a rail trail with the southern portion also hosting Northern Central Railway excursions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a Spring Sunday afternoon, Kris, Seamus-the-Dog and I made a casual cursory inspection of the line. (Last December, Kris and I photographed one of the Northern Central Railway excursions at Railroad and New Freedom, PA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this trip, I photographed the static excursion consist in New Freedom, along with a variety of other preserved rolling stock. Then we drove northward, pausing at a few locations to experience the trail and inspect the tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
