An announcement of the inauguration of Sunday train service on the Lykens Valley Railroad was made by the Pennsylvania Railroad in the Elizabethville Echo of November 17, 1910. The Pennsylvania Railroad operated the line between stations in Millersburg and Lykens, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
The scheduled provided for one train a Sunday departing from Lykens at 7:40 a. m. and arriving at Millersburg at 8:13 a. m. where connections could be made with other Pennsylvania Railroad trains heading south to Harrisburg or north to Williamsport. The return trip was scheduled to leave Millersburg at 6:34 p. m. and arrive at Lykens at 7:09 p. m. Going each way, a scheduled stop was made at Elizabethville and flag stops were available at Oakdale [Loyalton], Lenkers, and Woodside.
Normally, the Lykens Valley Railroad service was for workers getting to their jobs on weekdays, but the railroad soon realized that there was a market for Sunday travelers visiting their families along the route as well as those wishing to make connections for longer trips along the Pennsylvania Railroad System.
The railroad officials named in the announcement were J. R. Wood, Passenger Traffic Manager, and George W. Boyd, General Passenger Agent.
