Steam into History - New Freedom PA

Steam into History, Inc. built and operates a steam train to chronicle the role York County, PA., played in Civil War history and to promote the area as a tourist destination. The William H. Simpson #17 is a faithful replica of the Civil War steam locomotive that carried Abraham Lincoln to deliver his now famous Gettysburg Address. These same tracks carried Lincoln's funeral train two years later. You can now ride on our newly built 1860s replica steam locomotive with newly built coaches that just arrived at the end of September 2013.
