Travel Through History Aboard The Rare 1926 Gasoline Electric M1 Motorcar Excursion


Step aboard a rare piece of railroad history with this special excursion aboard the gasoline electric M1 motorcar built in 1926. This unique journey offers guests the chance to travel on an original narrow gauge railway using historic equipment that still operates along its original right of way. The experience showcases early rail innovation while passing through scenic countryside filled with forests, rolling hills, and open fields. Heated interiors during winter departures add comfort while preserving the authentic character of this vehicle.


Departures travel either north toward Colgate Grove or south toward Southern Huntingdon County High School depending on the scheduled date. The motorcar turns around at the end of the line before returning to Orbisonia Station. Due to the historic design, seating is limited and tickets guarantee space aboard rather than a reserved seat with additional standing room available. Boarding requires climbing steep narrow stairs and this excursion is not accessible for mobility devices. Guests should arrive early for check in and ticket pickup.


The M1 motorcar represents a fascinating era of transportation technology, bridging the gap between steam power and modern diesel engines. Riding this vehicle is a tactile experience, allowing passengers to hear the engine and feel the motion of the tracks in a way that modern trains simply cannot replicate. The route itself is a testament to the engineering prowess of the early 20th century, winding through terrain that highlights the natural beauty of the region while maintaining its historic integrity.


This excursion is ideal for rail enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone looking for a truly unique travel experience. By preserving this piece of equipment, we offer a window into the past that is both educational and deeply engaging. We invite you to join us at Orbisonia Station for a journey that celebrates the innovation and spirit of the railroad age. Prepare for changing weather conditions and get ready to step back in time on this remarkable vintage motorcar adventure.
