Fondly remembered in both Lancaster and Chester counties, it was first called the Peach Bottom Railway. It was renamed Lancaster, Oxford & Southern Railroad, after its first bankruptcy.
This short line of 28 miles, better known by its nickname, “Little Old and Slow,” has gathered fans across the country.
Research has uncovered timetables, new pictures, rosters and stories of those who worked on, or lived along, the 3’ narrow gauge track. See how this picturesque, rural area grew with the coming of the iron horse.
