Articles about the Pine Creek Rail Trail

David Ira Kagan, a retired English and mathematics teacher, has lived in Pine Creek’s southernmost village of Torbert since 1991. He has written and published numerous articles on Pine Creek Valley, both of its history and of its life today.


He has also written and published of the past and of the present about people, places and events in the wider Lycoming and Clinton County area, mostly for the Webb Weekly and the Williamsport Sun-Gazette.

His three books, published in the “Images of America” series by the Arcadia Publishing Company, include his 2008 Pine Creek Villages, Sugar Valley Villages (published in 2011), and Middletown Borough (available as of July 20, 2009). The latter is about his hometown, which is near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
