Cumberland Valley Railway

The Cumberland Valley Railway was a historic railroad established in the 19th century in Pennsylvania, designed to connect the Cumberland Valley region with larger rail networks. It facilitated the transportation of passengers and freight, especially agricultural products and coal, contributing to local economic growth. Over time, it became part of larger railroad companies through mergers and acquisitions, eventually integrated into the broader Pennsylvania Railroad system. Its development helped enhance connectivity in the area, supporting commerce and settlement development in central Pennsylvania. Today, its legacy continues through the lines and infrastructure that once formed the backbone of regional transportation.
