      General Info
      The Railroad Station serves as an example of the expansion of the railway industry in Manheim. In addition to being a museum of railroad history, it is a gathering hall and meeting space. The railroad came through Manheim from Columbia to Reading starting in 1861. By October 1862, the first locomotive, C.S. Maltby, came into Manheim from Columbia. Freight and daily passenger trains traveled to Philadelphia and Baltimore on the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. In 1881, the current station was built by Frank Furness, a well-known Philadelphia architect, who was commissioned by the Reading Railroad to build several Victorian frame construction stations. When the automobile became the primary travel the trains stopped and the station closed in 1976. The Manheim Historical Society acquired the building in 1984 and dedicated in 2007. The #236 Trolley Car, a model train museum and the Kendig Library is on site. Free tours are held Apr. - Oct. 3rd Sunday 1-4pm and 1st Thursday 5-9pm.The Railroad Station serves as an example of the expansion of the railway industry in Manheim.
