New Hope Railroad - Movie

[trisonic]

I'm attaching a link to a film on the New Hope Railroad, one of my local shortlines (this one is a tourist - don't go it's worth watching)

It's all in the details, like the coupling of the loco to the caboose near the beginning.

Across the Delaware River in New Jersey is another shortline that really does run freight too and now has an interchange to the former Conrail lines at Three Bridges (more stuff to follow).

I hope this works OK!  Best, Pete.

When I was back in college a friend of mine belonged to the Buckingham Valley Trolley Museum that operated over a portion of the NHI.  I actually installed a couple ties under the railroad and helped tamp some of it.  Its a former Reading line.

It's an ancient line, when owned by the Reading the movie "The Perils of Pauline" was made there... you can look up the date, it was a famous movie back in the day. Best, Pete.
