Lancaster & Atlantic Rail Road

Carrying on the tradition of the Pennsylvania Railroad in South Central Pennsylvania.

The Lancaster & Atlantic operates in two eras.  January 1968, before the Penn Central and January 1998 just before the fall of Conrail.

Operations are designed around the interlocking at Columbia PA.

Routes through Cola to and from Enola, Harrisburg, Lancaster, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

The layout is designed for two levels, with Enola as the major class yard and Dillerville yard serving the local Lancaster industry.

Motive power will follow typical PRR practice.
