Leviathan Week At Steam Into History - Leviathan 63 and York 17

In November 2013, Steam into History and Kloke Locomotive Works held Leviathan Week at Steam into History, with the York 17, and Leviathan 63. Both engines were built by the Kloke Locomotive works. Both are 4-4-0 American type steam engines. The Leviathan was built in 2009 by David Kloke. The York 17 was built in 2013 for the Steam into History operation based out of New Freedom, Pennsylvania, which operates excursions over 10 miles of ex. Northern Central Railway trackage.

On November 10th, the two engines ran a re-creation of the famous Great Locomotive Chase from New Freedom to Granary Road, where a pair of photo runbys were held.

On the 11th, the 63 and 17 powered a Veteran's Day Special to Hanover Junction, and return.
On the 12th, the two engines ran to Granary Road once again, this time to participate in a reenactment of the Driving of the Golden Spike, and completion of the transcontinental Railroad back in May 1869.
On the 13th the two engines ran to Hanover Junction once again, this time to recreate the famous Brady photo, which was actually taken at Hanover Junction during the American Civil War.
On the 15th, the Leviathan and York ran 5 miles north of New Freedom to Glen Rock for the night time Glen Rock Express.
On the 16th, the event concluded with the Leviathan and the York running trip to Hanover Junction, and return. At Hanover Junction an actor portraying President Lincoln gave a speech beside the Hanover Junction depot.
