Lefever, who was hired by Strasburg Rail Road Co. in 1987, was the eighth president to lead the company’s tourism, mechanical, and freight operations. Prior to taking the helm, Lefever served as Vice President and General Manager since 2011. During his 31-year tenure, Lefever also held the positions of Compliance Officer and Car Shop Supervisor. Lefever resided in Millersville, Pa.
As the Board of Directors begins its search for Lefever’s replacement, an interim leadership team has been put into place, overseeing the daily operations of the company.
To respect the privacy of the Lefever family and employees of Strasburg Rail Road, all inquiries should be directed to board member Susan Nicholas, who is overseeing the leadership transition. Susan can be reached via email at synicholas@lawyeryoung.com.
