Garden Railways Tour To Support Museum

By Ann Mead Ash

Located in the courtyard of the Aspen personal care building at Landis Homes is a miniature setting that is home to a steam engine, three diesels, a trolley, two train stations, and a number of houses, churches, and businesses. “We call it the Garden Railroad Village,” said

Bob Landis, one of the members of the club that keeps the trains moving from spring to fall. The village will be one of 10 stops on the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania’s 13th annual Garden Railways Tour on Sunday, Oct. 6. The self-guided, familyfriendly tour will be open from 1 to 5 p.m., with tour sites in Manheim, See Garden Railways pg 6

Members of the Garden Railroad Village Club at Landis Homes include (from left) Dale Groff, Tom Burkins, Bob Landis, Bruce Allison, John Buckwalter, and Charlie Parmer. The village will be a stop on the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania’s Garden Railways Tour on Oct. 6.
