More details on the proposed Strasburg/Amtrak interchange from the NARP
online hotline......

Yes, you will be able to take Amtrak to Paradise!  PennDOT and Lancaster
County officials announced last week that a train station will be
constructed along Amtrak's Harrisburg Line at Paradise (Lehman Place).  This
station will primarily be for connections to the Strasburg Railroad and its
steam-powered excursion trains but will also serve county buses.  The
complex will also include a roundtable to turn the steam engine.  The new
station will feature arguably the most unique train station parking
arrangement in the United States, "the station will include a circular
driveway, a passenger drop-off area, hitching posts for horses and buggies,
parking for about 30 cars and a bus-waiting and drop-off area." PennDOT and
