Miniature Train Rides at Norlo Park Canceled for the 2021 Season
Guilford Township’s Norlo Park will be missing one of its popular summer attractions this year. The Railroad Historical Society has decided to cease all train operations for the 2021 season due to all of the issues that have encompassed our Community, State, and Nation the past year.

The miniature train, complete with a cattle car and caboose, was free to ride on Saturdays from late May to late September. The train was donated to Guilford Township by the McKenzie family of New Franklin. It is staffed by the members of the Cumberland Valley Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. The original Quincy railroad station was relocated to Norlo Park and restored to preserve a rare piece of Cumberland Valley Railroad history.
The railroad-themed park includes a passive display of two cabooses, a flat car, and a wooden tank car, as well as two old railroad bridges.
