Middletown and Hummelstown Railroad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Middletown and Hummelstown Railroad (AAR reporting marks MIDH) is a Class III freight railroad which also operates passenger excursion trains in Middletown, Pennsylvania just outside of Hershey and Harrisburg.
[edit] Passenger excursion trains
As a heritage railroad, the company uses both steam and diesel locomotives for passenger excursions. Coaches are 1920’s-vintage Delaware, Lackawanna & Western cars. Passengers board at the 1891-era freight station in Middletown for an 11-mile round-trip excursion along the Swatara Creek and Union Canal; a narrator relates history of the canal and various sites along the tripo.
There is also a collection of heritage railway rolling stock displayed in the Middletown Yard.
Freight service has been provided since 1976 and passenger excursion service has been provided since 1986.
