New Hope & Ivyland's #40 pulls a freight past the Wycombe station one warm Spring day.
A rare revenue mixed freight captured in between 1967 and 1971? Possibly. Or perhaps it's a look into the future with the NH&I mimicking the Strasburg Rail Road hauling steam powered bi-weekly freights. While both are not out of the realm of possibilities, it is in fact New Hope's 1925 Baldwin built consolidation backdated as Lancaster & Chester #40 in a Lerro Productions charter.
To the right is the Reading built Wycombe Station which was built in 1891. It served passengers with the Reading Railroad until 1953 and was later lovingly restored between 2008 and 2009.
Oh the stories these special buildings could tell. Originally the brains of the rails they monitored, working to insure effecient rail service for our nation! A tribute!
