Behold the continuously changing view as the train traverses through the rolling hills and valleys of historic Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Enjoy our restored 1920’s vintage railroad passenger cars, the authentic steam locomotive or one of our historic diesel locomotives. The train will take you along the same historic route that was filmed in the 1914 movie series “Perils of Pauline.” You can purchase your tickets in the original “witches hat” New Hope train station which once was the location of the railroad telegraph operator who sent and received all messages for the town of New Hope, PA.
