Some nice railroad stations nearby in beautiful Lancaster County. My six photos from December 2019.
A fellow railfan game me a Christmas whirlwind tour of the area present. Many thanks.



Reading Railroad Station in Lebanon Pennsylvania.



Restored to her ultimate beauty.



Currently has Norfolk Southern Railroad freight service between Reading and Harrisburg Pennsylvania.



Pennsylvania Railroad Station in Lebanon Pennsylvania.



A few blocks south of the Reading Railroad Station. Restored to her ultimate beauty.



No more tracks at this former station. Taken away many years ago.


Amtrak special excursion train passes Reading Railroad Station in Lebanon Pennsylvania.


Norfolk Southern Railroad freight run with one of their modern engines in CNJ colors.
Shown in the 8:35 to 9:45 mark of that video. Also at Reading Railroad Station.
Both videos are not mine. Definitely worth to visit those two stations if you are in the area.
And of course nearby is the Strasburg Railroad and its historic attractions.

Check out the webcams for the next half hour or so.
Amtrak should be in the second one.
Strasburg in the first one.

I absolutely love the Strasburg Railroad, as well as the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum and the Choo Choo Barn, all nearby attractions. In fact, my family made visiting all 3 locations a summer day trip once every few years when I was younger. We went at least 4 to 5 times.
