NEW HOPE, Pa. — A pleasant day trip, two and one half hours from Cape May County, is a ride on the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad.
The tourist line runs regular excursions through the hills and valleys of historic Bucks County which is especially scenic this time of year with trees in peak autumn color.
Trains run Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, some pulled by vintage diesel engines and others by historic steam locomotive No. 40, a 2-8-0-wheel arrangement, built in 1925 by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia.
A North Pole Express begins trips from Nov. 21 through Dec. 31.
The train follows the same historic route as seen in the 1914 movie series, “Perils of Pauline.”
The railroad even offers rides with the engineer and fireman in the cab of the coal burning steam engine.
