Thanks for the welcome Greg and thanks for starting a new discussion group on this topic---I am interesting in learning about the various trolley lines and...
Thanks for setting up the York Area Yahoo group. Regarding the Arch Street (or is it Laucks Road) coal dock, are you aware that about 10 years ago, the track...
Rocky, Glad you joined us on the list. As much as I thought I knew about railroading in York, it seems like I'm always learning something new. I'm hoping we'll...
Gary, I too remember when the tracks crossed Loucks Mill Road. It seems that the Pennsy had quite a facility at Windsor Yard at one time. I think in my...
I ve been told that the way to find the turntable pit, is to make the turn from Arch Street on to Laucks, go to the Cole Steel warehouse that is on the Codorus...
Gary, When we were last down there we followed the tracks in from the west side, and they led into a mound of dirt. Unless the pit was back further than we...

I thought about posting this earlier, but I was afraid (and am still afraid) that I'll miss a line or two. Well, lets start down south. We had the New Park &...
Another railroad that I think was located in York County was the one that went from East Berlin to Abbotstown. I am not sure of the correct name, but it did...
Gary, This railroad would have actually been located in Adams County. I know that you can still trace some of the right-of-way between these two towns. I think...
Oh good, we're doing York County and not just the city. What were the dates (approximate are o.k.) of the New Park and Fawn Grove? It seems to be a very...

Hello. I am interested in the history of the Northern Central Railway, particularly photos of its trackage in the York or other local areas. If anyone has any...
Bob, The Northern Central book occasionally pops up at train shows and on ebay. I did a quick search of some of the on-line book sellers, but didn't see it...
I'd recommend getting a copy of the book, "The Story of the Stewartstown Railroad" by Eric J. Bickleman. It contains info on not only the Stewartstown, but...
Greg: Thanks for your note. I checked around too; nothing at Alibris or AbeBooks. What out-of-print book sources do you use? If you haven't tried those...
Bob, I'll check half.com, bibliofind.com, bookfinder.com, abebooks.com and alibris.com. They're good to compare to prices on ebay. I kept coming across an old...

I was 15 in 1951. I think that 1951 is the year that I saw and HEARD the doodlebug. I was helping my Dad with his milk route (Green's Dairy). We had just...
