We have been walking different sections of the Heritage Rail Trail that runs from York to the Maryland border - about 21 miles. We have done 4, 3 mile sections (6 mile walk out and back) so far. I haven't put them on the blog except for the Howard Tunnel section because, although they are nice walking trails, they are for the most part not that remarkable. The one we walked this morning did have a few points of interest.
We started at Hanover Junction Station that has been restored to its 1860's appearance and is notable as Abe Lincoln changed trains here on his way to Gettysburg in 1863 for the dedication of the National Cemetery.
Hanover Junction Station
Life size abstract horse and rider at the station.
About a mile up the tracks in Seven Valleys, PA, we came across the birthplace of commercial ice cream production - who knew?
A little further up we came to 3 very large bicycles made of scrap materials.
The high wheeler is about 12 feet high.
Darby and me for scale.
