North Shore Railroad’s Veterans Benefit Voyage raises $16,000

Northumberland, Pa. — North Shore Railroad Company & Affiliates has raised $16,000 for two veterans nonprofits through its third annual Veterans Benefit Voyage. The railroad presented checks of $8,000 each to Hunts for Healing and Expedition Orange on Nov. 4. Heavy rain at the primary event, held July 18 at Test Track Park during Berwick’s World War II Weekend, reduced ridership in the year’s first voyage. To make up the difference, the railroad added proceeds from some ticket sales from later passenger events, including rides at Stallion Infrastructure in Montoursville on Aug. 22 and during Danville’s Heritage Festival, to make the donation more substantial. Hunts for Healing offers outdoor recreation such as fishing and hunting for wounded warriors and is run entirely by volunteers. Expedition Orange uses horse and rider to raise national awareness and support for Vietnam veterans and families affected by Agent Orange exposure, and gives $1,000 to a veterans home in each state it visits. Both organizations pledge to put 100% of donations toward veterans. In 2024, the railroad dedicated two locomotives to members of the U.S. military: LVRR 9052, the Veterans Unit, and LVRR 9050, the Memorial Unit. This year’s rides also featured the railroad’s Semiquincentennial
