Father’s Day Picnic to Hanover Junction

Take Dad for a special picnic lunch in Hanover Junction! Our historic PRR GP9 Diesel Locomotive built in 1959 will take you back in time to the 1860s when President Abraham Lincoln rode these tracks on his way to Gettysburg to deliver the Gettysburg Address. During the 1 ½ hour layover, enjoy your packed lunch, play outdoor games, and explore the Hanover Junction Museum. Entertainment will be provided by the Susquehanna Travellers. Don’t forget to bring your own picnic lunch, lawn chairs, and blankets!

(Wheelchair lift is not available at Hanover Junction; passengers who wish to exit the train must be able to climb up and down 6 steps without crew assistance.)

The coaches are pushed and pulled by our vintage diesel locomotive. This excursion is 3 ½ hours.

Tickets will be printed and available for pick up at the ticket booth on the day of the excursion.

Please arrive 30 minutes prior to boarding. Before you join us please reference our new protocols!
