Walton & Company

Walton & Company recently donated their services and materials to help upgrade the Steam Into History facility located at 2 West Main St., New Freedom, Pennsylvania.

Steam Into History Project Steam Into History started operations in 2013 and has carried nearly 80,000 passengers on their steam locomotive, the York No. 17. This locomotive is a replica of the one that carried Abraham Lincoln to Gettysburg to deliver the Gettysburg Address and, two years later, served as his funeral train.
