Today was a spa day for PC 184301, home of the Cumberland Valley Railroad Museum. To keep the old boxcar looking like new, it periodically needs a top to bottom scrub. Thank you to the volunteers that gave up a sunny Sunday to shine up Shipppensburg Station.

The weather is perfect for #ShipFirstFridays! Added bonus: it’s perfect fireworks weather - so we’re going to keep things going later than normal and invite you to stick around to watch the show from the trail. See you then! https://t.co/6C7d8iGl4Q
