Harrisburg, Lincoln & Lancaster Railroad

The Harrisburg, Lincoln & Lancaster Railroad offers visitors a unique journey into America’s railroad and Civil War history. Operating on a reconstructed section of the original 1838 railroad bed that carried President Abraham Lincoln’s funeral train in 1865, the railroad combines authentic heritage interpretation with memorable excursion experiences. Pulled by a replica 1860s-era steam locomotive and vintage-style passenger coaches, guests enjoy narrated rides through the scenic grounds of Stone Gables Estate, passing historic landmarks, covered bridges, woodlands, and centuries-old trees. Throughout the year, the railroad hosts a variety of themed excursions, including seasonal fall harvest trains, Christmas-themed rides, winter excursions, and heritage-focused events that celebrate the rich railroad legacy of Pennsylvania while bringing history to life for families, rail enthusiasts, and history lovers alike.
