You’re right on track for reading and railroading as readers share stories about trains, railroads and other amazing people, places and things during the family-friendly Reading On The Rails event at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania on Saturday,

March 9.

Kids will receive their very own “suitcase” and use it to travel from story to story throughout the day. They can collect a sticker after each story and create their own suitcase design with stickers, crayons, glitter and other trimmings.

Readers include:

● Kristin Fernitz, director of the Strasburg-Heisler Library

● Kristy Aurand, chief development officer at the Community Action Partnership

● Patrick Morrison, director of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania

● Kevin Hale, volunteer of the year at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania

● Juliette O’Connor, educator at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania

● Elizabeth Myers, volunteer/program coordinator at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania

On hand during the day will be various read aloud teams from KPETS, Keystone Pet Enhanced Therapy Services. Visitors also can meet Catcher, the Museum’s friendly mascot, between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Reading On The Rails story times are 10:30 a.m., 11:15 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 1:15 p.m., 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. and will be held among the historic trains in the Museum’s climate controlled Rolling Stock Hall.

The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is home to a world-class collection of about 100 historic locomotives and railroad cars, a vast research library and archives, a working restoration shop, an immersive education center and programs, a Museum store and special events and exhibits.

A Smithsonian Affiliate, the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is one of 24 historic sites and museums administered by the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission as part of the Pennsylvania Trails of History®, with the active support of the nonprofit Friends of the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
