New Hope Abandoned trains, revisited

Last year I uploaded a video of trains which I assumed were abandoned. It now appears that they're not abandoned in the true sense of the word. There are a couple of trains which are in bad shape and I took the liberty of documenting the state of one of the trains.

what happened to these ? are they still there?

[livardo]

I think some of them are still there. One thing to note is that they use the line to store cars which they use for their "tourist train".

Some of the cars though have been sitting there for a while.

@diveplane : I take offense at your comment sir. Only Costco sells the ultra mega sizes needed for adequate face stuffing.

Kept waiting for something to jump out!

The last car is the tender (fuel car) for ex-Canadian National 4-6-0 #1533, NH&I's primary workhorse until 1975, when she was withdrawn from service. Currently, she is stored in pieces behind the roundhouse pending restoration, and her tender here on the deadline also pending restoration

how many abandoned trains are there

@gregbassace1 This is in Newhope PA, I'm not familiar with that town but I live in Maryland which is a neighboring state. Can you imagine what it would cost to transport these cars to Australia? I would guess that probably whoever owns them now would be willing to sell them, but I would imagine it would involve some serious money getting them to Australia.

@railwaymguy that would be trespassing which he already committed by stepping up onto the coaches.

[railwaymguy]

[gregbassace1]

I'd give ANYTHING to get these cars to Australia, if no museum in America wants them. They look like they're on Standard Gauge & our loading gauge could accomodate them. Perfect for a 59 Class Baldwin Mikado to pull in New South Wales!! I'll share this with my friends here. Where is this location?

Looks similar to the car(s) my daughter and I rode in on their 'Santa Claus' run back in '98. I snapped a few shots of their locomotives standing by the repair shed back in '09. I wasn't hurried off of the property but they were bustling that day in boarding a school outing. I aim to get back there and capture some HD video later this year as the train makes its way through and out of New Hope. Thanks for putting your video up, 'Livardo'.
