"Our passenger trains engineer special memories!"
Come, enjoy a scenic train ride.
The M & H Railroad is located just outside of Hershey and Harrisburg Pa

Visitors to the M&H Railroad will enjoy an 11-mile train ride along the Swatara Creek, while learning the history of the area. Passengers board our 1920’s vintage, Delaware, Lackawanna & Western coaches at our 1891 Freight Station in Middletown or at the Indian Echo Caverns Platform.

In Middletown, enjoy browsing in the Gift Shop for Thomas toys, books, shirts, jewelry or glassware, looking at the museum displays or watch the children at the Thomas Play Table.

During the ride, the train follows the towpath of the historic Union Canal and alongside the peaceful Swatara. The narrator relates the history of the Canal (completed in 1822) and the location of Canal Lock #33, as well as a century old limekiln and Horse Thief Cave. Passengers will have a "photographic moment" while crossing a 35-foot bridge above the Swatara Creek.

On the return trip from Indian Echo Cave Platform, you will enjoy a "sing-a-long" of tunes from the railroading days, as well as fun songs for young and old alike.
