First, the information given on this entry is inaccurate: currently, only two, discontinuous segments of the trail are completed, each about a mile in length. Both follow an abandoned trolley line that ran from York southwest to Spring Grove and Hanover in the first half of the 20th century.

Despite their short length, the two completed sections are both worth checking out.

The eastern segment, which begins at Hosiery Alley in Spring Grove, parallels an active freight line owned by York Rail for about 1500 feet, where both the trail and railroad pass under a trestle that supports another active line owned by CSX. During the years it was active, the trolley line also passed under this trestle, making it an important piece of southwest York County's railroad heritage. If trail users are lucky, they can watch two freight trains passing over and under this bridge.

The trail then curves slightly northeast, veering away from the York Rail line, but staying close to the CSX track. Users ascend a gradual slope to Hershey Road, which is the current eastern terminus for this segment.

The western segment begins at Moul Ave. on the east end of Hanover, separating Moul Park from a new condo complex. After briefly following the northeast park's northeast perimeter, the trail turns due east into the woods, where it joins the old trolley grade. The trees form a tight canopy over this portion of the trail, creating the effect of a "green tunnel." These woods and adjacent marshlands give trail users great opportunities to enjoy local wildlife. Going further east, the trail passes through fields, before coming to its current eastern end at Cherry Tree Court.

The York County Rail Trail Authority plans to extend both of these sections further east in the near future, though it will probably be several more years before both sections are connected and the entire trail is completed. Once finished, the trail will stretch from Hanover to join the York County Heritage Rail Trail at a point near York, and will form an important part of the county's emerging trail network. Long term plans anticipate it forming part of the Grand History Loop, a circular greenway system that will connect south-central Pennsylvania with the Baltimore and Washington DC metropolitan areas.
