The William H. Simpson No. 17 is an authentic replica of the 1860's steam locomotive. Ironically, it is their newest piece of locomotive stock at only 9 years old.

President Abraham Lincoln rode on this line to deliver one of the greatest speeches in history, the Gettysburg Address.

The world's oldest rail tunnel with active rials, Howard Tunnel, lies along the NCRR tracks, and the nationally-recognized York County Heritage Rail follows along the tracks for the length of the trip.
