Victoria Ribeiro of Deep Roots Marketing Communications talked about Northern Central Railway-Steam Into History and its participation in Give Local York, a countywide day of fundraising set for May 1:

What is the mission of Northern Central Railway-Steam Into History?

Northern Central Railway of York will enhance the economic engine of York County by delivering historical, educational, and entertaining experiences on an excursion railroad.

Northern Central Railway-Steam Into History is an excursion railroad that makes time travel possible! It's an authentic experience where you can meet presidents and generals, experience the Wild West, enjoy the spirit of the season anytime of the year, and literally ride along the very rails that helped build and save our nation. It's a breathtaking journey through gorgeous countryside that brings out the child in all of us!

Why is the organization excited to participate in Give Local York this year?

In the first five years of operation, Northern Central Railway of York drew more than 105,000 visitors from 48 U.S. states and 15 foreign countries, generating more than $20 million in economic benefits and helping to solidify York County as a unique tourist destination. Northern Central Railway's experiential programming educates, entertains, and enlightens visitors with a diverse schedule of excursions incorporating local history, as well as STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) initiatives, into fun themes that create memories that last a lifetime for all ages.

Last year, even with limited resources, we did our best to maximize the potential offered by Give Local York and we met our goals! We hope to do even better this year to raise $15,000 to go towards the creation and development of more educational, enlightening, and entertaining events that help keep us on track!
