The New Hope Railroad is a Historic Tourist Railroad in New Hope, Pa. Come enjoy the scenic ride!

The New Hope Railroad is nestled 37 miles outside of Philadelphia in Bucks County's premiere destination; New Hope, Pennsylvania. A Delaware river town chock-full of niche shops and restaurants, a fitting locale for a day or night out with friends & family. We provide a glimpse into the travel of a bygone era on historic trains traveling over tracks that were laid in 1891 by the North-East Pennsylvania Railroad. Join us on an entertaining and educational adventure perfect for riders of all ages and interests as you journey through the hills and valleys of beautiful Bucks County. Relive the golden age of rail travel and take a front-row seat as you take in the passing scenery of streams, scenic farmland, historic buildings, bridges, and surroundings. On-board narration, provided on most trips, details the history and folklore of the railroad, the towns, as well as points of interest along the line.

Sixty years ago, New Hope & Ivyland Railroad began carrying passengers and freight through Bucks County. This weekend, we're marking that anniversary.

This weekend only, coach fare is set at a commemorative $19.66, marking the year service began. Every ticket helps preserve the line and its equipment, and supports the skilled crews who keep it running.

Join us at New Hope Station and ride the line that's carried Bucks County for six decades.

Something new is rolling into New Hope…

Launching THIS Friday, May 22nd.

This isn’t a stroll on a rail trail. This is an outdoor adventure that hugs every curve — because it’s literally on the rails.

Today, our railroad family grieved as we learned of the passing of Andrew Goldberg, one of our kindest, energetic, and passionate Trainmen.

At just 20 years old, Andrew embodied the very spirit of the heritage railroad industry, channeling his deep love of railroad history into creating memorable experiences for thousands of passengers from around the world. Above all, his infectious smile brought out the best in everyone he worked with.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this profoundly difficult time.

Happy 100th Birthday, Locomotive No. 40!

One century ago this week, No. 40 rolled out of the Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, beginning a journey that would span states, railroads, and generations. Yesterday, our team celebrated the milestone with cake — and our Steam CMO, Grayson, ensured No. 40 shared in the festivities… with a little help from the firebox.

Completed on December 2, 1925, the 2-8-0 “Consolidation” entered service just three days later on the Lancaster & Chester Railroad in South Carolina. It served there until after WWII, then moved to the Cliffside Railroad in North Carolina, working as a switcher until its retirement in 1962. After its freight career ended, No. 40 headed north — first to Wilmington, then St. Clair, PA — before arriving in Bucks County in 1966. Restored in the 1970s and rebuilt again in 1990, it has been the heart of our fleet ever since, pulling excursions and creating memories for thousands of riders.

There are still plenty of chances this month to ride behind this iconic engine aboard Santa’s Steam Train. Tickets and details are available at newhoperailroad.com. Here’s to the next century of steam at the New Hope Railroad!
