Lancaster Railway Society Celebrates 90th Anniversary
BY FRANCINE FULTON
The Lancaster Chapter, National Railway Historical Society (NRHS), which aims to preserve history and railroad artifacts, as well as educate the public about railroading and its history, is in the middle of celebrating its 90th anniversary.
According to a history of the Lancaster Chapter, NRHS, provided by chapter historian Linda Himpsl, it began in 1934 when a few young railroad and trolley enthusiasts met in an old trolley in Neffsville, forming the Lancaster Railway & Locomotive Historical Society. In 1935, the group merged with the Interstate Trolley Club and other organizations to form the NRHS. The Lancaster Chapter was the first charter organized in the NRHS, launching on Oct. 13, 1935.
Today, chapter meetings are held in the 1882 freight station in

In order to provide expanded care to the communities it serves, which includes a large portion of southeastern Lancaster County, as well as parts of western Chester County, the Christiana Community Ambulance Association (CCAA) now offers Advanced Life Support (ALS).
CCAA has been providing Basic Life Support (BLS) service since it was founded in 1989. In 2024, it advanced to intermediate ambulance service; in January, the company launched ALS by adding paramedics to its staff.
“We have been BLS since we started,” explained Ben Scheffel, CCAA president. “We upgraded to intermediate after a donation from one of the seven municipalities that we serve through an ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act)
Christiana, which was restored by the chapter in 1998. Members, who come from various backgrounds,
Very few of us actually worked for the railroad,” noted Steve Himpsl,

The Good News Paper
BY FRANCINE FULTON
When I began as a feature writer many years ago, this publication was described to me as a “feel-good paper.” It would not contain any obituaries, police reports, information about accidents or fires, politics or controversies.
What it would feature, however, would be stories about local people, churches and community service organizations. This was a welcome change after covering township meetings for a daily paper. These meetings were deserted for the most part, unless there was a complaint about a person’s clutter-filled yard or a neighborhood was in need of a stop sign. Prior to that, I was an intern throughout college at a weekly paper, where my main duties included writing the police blotter column each week and fetching coffee for the editor.
Back then, I didn’t think it would be possible to fill the paper with good news each week, but as it turns out, there were never any shortages of stories. People do good things on a regular basis.
I have met several celebrities along the way, including professional athletes Hunter Pence and Mickey Morandini, who played for the Philadelphia Phillies, and Reggie White and Brent Celek, who played for the Eagles.
Although many people recognize these people as heroes, the true heroes and legends I met were people like police officers and volunteer firefighters, library directors, school secretaries, parent volunteers and pastors. In my opinion, volunteers who work for animal rescue organizations are also heroes. They save cats and dogs no one else wants. They bottle feed newborn kittens all night long. They find dogs that have run away from their owners and foster dogs and cats until their forever homes can be found - all while holding down full-time jobs.
Two of the most memorable stories I covered were one that involved a little girl adopted from Russia, whose parents had to bribe Russian officials with money and vodka to assure her release from that country. When they brought her home, she loved watching reruns of “The Lawrence Welk Show” on TV. The other was about a man who was paralyzed and a wheelchair user who became an award-winner in the sport of archery. He let me shoot at a target with his bow and arrow. I was amazed at how heavy the bow was and how he used it with ease. My shot was way off target.
There have been great stories

Wes Zook is a Lancaster County resident. He owns and operates a small concrete pumping company here in Lancaster County. He has been married 32 years with one son. On January 16th 2025 a near death experience on the job left him humbled knowing in that moment he was completely dependent on some kind of human intervention.
Message from the speaker: “I’ve been privileged to be part of the same body of belivers for the last 50 years. Growing with the same people for so long, it seems we focus on purging the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes. But do we purge the third thing - the pride of life - with the same vigor? 2000 years ago Jesus took 12 very prideful men and chipped away at them for 3 years.”

“Some have fathers or grandfathers who worked the railroad,” added Linda.
Last October, chapter members and invited guests celebrated the milestone during a chapter meeting at the freight station where they enjoyed cake and ice cream and a display of memorabilia dating from 1934 to the present. There was also a chapter banquet held at Hershey Farm Resort
in November. Tony White, NRHS president, presented the Lancaster Chapter a Certificate of Recognition for its 90th anniversary and for being the first charter chapter of the organization. In addition to Steve and Linda, accepting the certificate were Tom Shenk, president; Glenn Kendig, first vice president; Cindy Kendig, first director; Richard Ruttledge, treasurer; David Stambaugh, second vice president; and member Gayle Stambaugh.
One of the chapter’s major accomplishments was the restoration of the freight station, located at 10 Railroad Ave., Christiana. Notably, the station was featured in the 1985 movie “Witness” starring Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis.
According to Linda, the two-story building was moved east 40 feet

through the years and of course a few clunkers, but all have contributed to the success of a paper that still continues to be well read even with the success of social media. People still want to read about their friends and neighbors. They still want to cut out a photo of their son or daughter playing high school sports or being crowned homecoming king or queen, and they want to put that photo onto the refrigerator.
And while I sometimes wonder if that neighborhood got that stop sign or the man cleaned up his yard, I can proudly say that I write for a newspaper that still makes people feel good.
to its present location in 1903 to install additional track. Passenger service ceased in 1907, when the new Christiana passenger station on the opposite side of the tracks was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad; it terminated service in 1952. Amtrak now leases the 1888 freight station building, gang house, 1907 passenger station and trackside property to the Lancaster Chapter, NRHS. The chapter also maintains a Conrail caboose on-site.
In addition to a holiday open house held during Christmas in Christiana, the stations is open for tours by appointment.
“We have a deck and we often have people come and hang out on the deck and watch the trains,” Steve said. “We want to get people into the station and to view the caboose.”
The Lancaster Chapter, NRHS members have restored, preserved and donated many train- and rail-related projects to Lancaster County and surrounding communities through the years, including a trolley from Lancaster, a Reading Railroad Company crossing watchman’s box and various railroad cars. The chapter has also organized Amtrak rail trips to many places, including Horseshoe Curve; western Pennsylvania; and Mystic Seaport, Conn. “Amtrak would add
passenger cars on their trains to accommodate how many tickets were sold,” Steve explained. “We would sell 18-car trains.”
The group generally meets on the third Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m. Meetings usually feature a guest speaker or a slideshow of railroad history. Outings are also planned. “We (might meet) at Strasburg Rail Road and ride the train, and when it comes back we have our meeting on the train. We mix it up,” noted Linda.
Members pay a yearly fee, which gets them the Lancaster Dispatcher, the chapter’s monthly newsletter. New members are welcome. “Many young people are not interested in railroading anymore because they did not grow up with it,” noted Steve. “We are more than happy to have young people come in and join us.”
More information about the Lancaster Chapter, NRHS, including upcoming meetings, is available at www.nrhs1.org or www.facebook .com/ChristianaFreightStation.

grant, (which allowed us) to buy some equipment and run intermediate. We have gotten a lot of requests for us to continue growing into an ALS providerthe highest level of care - which is paramedics.”
As an ALS provider, CCAA had to purchase additional vehicles to transport paramedics to emergency calls. “We purchased two chase vehicles. These are Ford Explorers with lights and sirens,” Scheffel explained. “If a call goes into 911, and a person explains what is happening and if it sounds like they need a paramedic, they respond. They would dispatch a BLS unit and a paramedic. Oftentimes, the paramedic will jump into the ambulance with the BLS if a higher level of care is required.”
CCAA chief Corey Gossert explained that emergencies are categorized into classes, with Class 1 referring to immediate life-threatening emergencies. An example of a Class 2 emergency may be a broken bone, and Class 3 would be a serious condition but not immediately life threatening.
Paramedics are allowed to administer medication, start IV lines and treat cardiac conditions, since they are able to read EKGs and administer defibrillation. “Class 1 would be ALS for someone with chest pains or a cardiac emergency,” noted Gossert.
“We still have the BLS. The bulk of our classes are still Class 2 and 3 (emergencies),” Scheffel added.
Both men noted that the advancement to ALS provides faster response times. “We are in an area where we are between Lancaster and Chester counties.
For an ALS provider ... it would take 18 minutes to Atglen or Christiana (or surrounding areas). We are right there; we are within four minutes,”said Gossert, noting that neighboring municipalities supported the advancement to offering ALS. “We met with each municipality and told them what we were doing, and ... they were
SERMON SERIES
Many people get excited about sermons that show how the Lord’s prophecies have been fulfilled. But do you know that there is typology in the Old Testament that Jesus also fulfilled?
• Why was the tabernacle constructed the way it was?
• What was the significance of the feast days?
• Why did they have those different kinds of sacrifices?
All of these picture Jesus Christ and point to Him.
We would like to invite you to hear our sermon series.
We are doing a sermon series on the tabernacle, how it was constructed, the feast days, the various sacrifices and how they all point to Jesus Christ. Most importantly we will see how they are significant to us today.
Sunday morning service starts at 10:40 AM.
willing to support us.”
“Response time was big piece of it,” added Scheffel. “We are providing Advanced Life Support for the first time in Christiana history.”
CCAA, located at 55 Pine Creek Drive, Gap, is a nonprofit organization that serves Christiana and Atglen as well as Salisbury, Sadsbury, Bart, West Fallowfield and Colerain townships. In 2025, the company responded to 1,399 calls, an increase from 2024, when there were 1,302 calls. In 2023, there were 1,211 calls. “It keeps going up,” Gossert added.
CCAA members also take part in fire camp offered by the Christiana Fire Department, offer CPR courses at local businesses and participate in the Octorara homecoming parade.
In addition to Scheffel, CCAA officers are George Stuart, vice president; Alissa Buckwalter, treasurer; and Tina Abbott, secretary. Board members include Tim Zook, Paul Zook and Brian Petersheim.
CCAA includes both paid staff and volunteers. To learn more about volunteer opportunities, contact Gossert at chief46@ christianaems.org or Scheffel at bscheffel@christianaems.org.
