New Hope and Ivyland Railroad: #40 Rips the Rails

HD 1080p: For the second time, Eastern Railfan Productions visits the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad, this time with the 2-8-0 #40 running. It was one of those "perfect" days where the weather was beautiful, and #40 did not disappoint. On this adventure, we successfully pace the train along Mechanic Street, plus capture the train thundering through many of the crossings at 20+ miles per hour. Enjoy!

BTW do you know how much a cabride is on 40?

@indie1361 Offhand I'm not sure, but go to NH&I's website, go to contact us, then click where it says "click here" under join our mailing list then send them an email about cab rides. In fact there's a box on that page where it says "locomotive cab rides". Make sure you put a check next to that.

Thank god she's got her rebuild. Does it have to be over that long period, or can it be sped up?

[srr7312]

@indie1361 Nothing can really be rushed on a steam locomotive, otherwise it's just cause for unnecessary headaches. The amount of time it takes will depend on whatever necessary repairs she may need, which hopefully won't be too much.

[indie1361]

@srr7312 Oh ok so they strip her down and see what needs fixing.

[srr7312]

@indie1361 Yup they strip her down to nothing and do any needed repairs.

@indie1361 A cabride in 40 ironically costs $40.

Is there ever a time that steam goes past Lahaska? They did have a photo freight to Ivyland a few years ago, which I was on, but they should have more runs to Buckingham Valley and Wycombe with steam. Oh, is #40 running yet? Will it be running at all this year even on the December trains?

@srr7312 I remember last year she was back on the line a little late, but now it's even later!
