Biking: the Heritage Rail Trail
The York County Heritage Rail Trail is a recreational trail in southern Pennsylvania that follows the tracks of the old Northern Central Railway (NCR) from the Maryland line to the Colonial Courthouse in downtown York. In it’s heyday, the Northern Central was a busy carrier of farm and industrial products between Sunbury, PA, and Baltimore, MD. The railway also provided passenger service in its earlier days and carried President Lincoln on the way to deliver his Gettysburg Address in 1863.
