Over Memorial Day Weekend, the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad ran their 2-8-0 steam locomotive number 40 from Friday until Monday. On each of these four days, number 40 powered 3 trips between New Hope and Buckingham Valley. Despite the occasional rain and unseasonably cold temperatures, we headed out on Saturday for our first trip of 2021. The dreary weather made for an incredible plume of smoke to billow out of 40's stack, something usually only occurring during the cold, winter months.
Making the best of what mother nature had to offer on this late May day, we were able to capture an impressive show of steam with fresh greenery, something that has become rare on the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad, as this was the first time 40 has run during the summer months since 2014. So sit back, relax, and enjoy steam through the woods of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, with locomotive number 40 on the point of the New Hope Express.
