Things have come together at Columbia ConStation just in time for the Fall York Train Fair shuttle service! We've begun getting the all new highspeed CONTRAK Shinkansens in service.

These will provide direct express service from the Orange Hall ConStation to Columbia ConStation. Passengers arriving at Columbia are encouraged to check out the Lower Susquehanna Valley Modular Railroaders open house just across the platform from ConStation!
