We hiked the last section of the Heritage Rail Trail today - starting at Mile 3 in Railroad, PA and hiking to mile 0 in New Freedom, PA - a six mile round trip hike. Mile 0 is at the Maryland/PA border and the Mason-Dixon Line. All of the trains and the train museum are in New Freedom, PA - nothing in Railroad, PA - go figure - somebody missed a marketing opportunity on that one.
New Freedom Train Station (and museum) - restored to I believe its 1940's appearance.
Railroad worker Lodging cars equipped with bunks, kitchen, and an office - designed by PRR - from the 30's and 40's.
The Party Caboose
Railway Office
Restored passenger cars (late 1800's)
An old diesel engine
The Mason-Dixon Line - terminus of the York County Heritage Rail Trail (PA) and the Northern Central Railroad Trail (MD)
York County Heritage Rail Trail Map (Pennsylvania)
Northern Central Railroad Trail Map (Maryland)
Darby in Maryland and Donna in Pennsylvania - which state's leash law is applicable here? Just a question for a sharp legal mind. Of course we did the traditional one foot in Maryland and one foot in Pennsylvania dance (now I'm in MD, Now I'm in PA, etc., and, now I'm in the North, now I'm in the South, etc.) and a reenactment of the Geico, Bristol, VA/TN commercial - now if standing in both simultaneously would I be in Maryvania or Pennsyland?
