LEWISTOWN — All aboard! The sound of trains rolling through the Lewistown Junction Train Station are something that have been creating smiles for generations for all ages.

A different version will be on display at the Shining Light Through the Darkness at Kishacoquillas Park in Lewistown on Friday as the Third Annual Post-War Trains debut from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. There are a few different locomotives they’ll be operating this year, along with another fully recreated set from the postwar area of Lionel trains.

(Feeling nostalgic keep reading because there’s a holiday event at the historic station.)

It’s just one of the things to do this weekend, along with the following:
