Hanover Junction, Pa. Station to be rededicated Sunday

-From York Dispatch, York, PA

Plans are under way for dedication of Hanover Junction Railroad Station on
Nov. 18, announces Tom Brant, director of the York County Board of Parks and
Recreation.

Included is installation of "Horse and Hike" sculpture by Leonard Streckfus
to honor Tim Fulton and the York County Rail Trail Authority. The station is
along the rail trail. Fulton was chairman of the authority from 1990 to
1999. Also, the restored Hanover Junction National Landmark sign will be
returned for the dedication. A reproduction of the Nov. 19-20 newspaper, the
New York Tribune, with an announcement of President Lincoln changing trains
at Hanover Junction en route to Gettysburg will be exhibited. Reenactment of
the raiding of the station by descendants of Col. E.V. White and his 35th
Virginia Cavalry is also scheduled.
