Description
NEW HOPE STATION by PRISCILLA BURGERS
Purchase a ticket at this charming New Hope Station and enjoy a glimpse into travel of a bygone era on a historic steam train. The New Hope station was once the terminal point of the Reading Company's New Hope Branch. Regular service to this station ended September 1952. A decade later, the railroad's financial situation was precarious. Wanting to rid themselves of unprofitable branch lines due to abandonment, a group of train buffs and businessmen led by Philadelphia attorney Kenneth Souser, established as Steam Trains, Inc.,was wanting to operate steam trains on a for-profit basis. Steam Trains, Inc. became organized as the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad, and on June 20, 1966, the 16.7 mile line was sold for $200,000. This station can be seen in beautiful Buck's County, Pennsylvania.
