York County’s love affair with its wheels – even small ones – rolls on and on, Part 6
Linked in/Neat stuff: John Grisham in York/Glen Rock Carolers in bronze
York County’s love affair with all things on wheels means wheels of all sizes. As in here, miniature. As in model trains. This elaborate display at the Red Lion Train Station is open to the public this Christmas season. Years ago, the train station was the venue for the 77-mile-long Ma & Pa’s Railroad’s welcome in the borough, and when combined with its trolley service and highways, propelled the borough as a transportation and market center of southeastern York County in the 20th century.

“A few years ago, he said he had been to York on several occasions — mainly softball tournaments in which his daughter participated — or had passed through the county. So he was familiar with the area.
“The question is: Does anyone know of other novels in which York has been mentioned?
Let Gordon know the title of such novels.
