Description
All Aboard!
New Hope Railroad’s locomotive fleet, No. 40 has been entertaining visitors to the Bucks County countryside for several decades.
Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in nearby Philadelphia, PA. Out-shopped in early December of 1925, it has a 2-8-0 wheel arrangement, two pilot wheels, eight drivers, and no wheels trailing. This model of locomotive is also known as a Consolidation.The New Hope & Ivyland Railroad (NHRR) brought the old Baldwin built warrior back to life in a matter of months as part of their plans to refurbish the historic operation.
In the early summer of 1991, No. 40 steamed for the public once again as it pulled trains through Bucks County. Since that time, the locomotive has become a favorite among both visitors and members of the railroad’s staff. In addition to its regular passenger duties, it has also taken part in several special events at the railroad. No. 40 is currently the New Hope Railroad’s only operating steam locomotive.
