A rare replica steam locomotive from Northern Central Railway of York will help recreate President Abraham Lincoln’s historic arrival in Gettysburg as part of the America250 event “Lincoln at Gettysburg: Shall Not Perish.” The William H. Simpson No. 17 will participate Nov. 18 in a reenactment of Lincoln’s 1863 journey, according to a community announcement. About 200 invited dignitaries and guests are expected to travel aboard the commemorative train. The oil-fired No. 17 is a replica of an 1860s Civil War-era steam locomotive and one of only 150 of its kind remaining nationwide, according to the announcement.
