Fall leaves from a vintage train
New Hope Railroad's Fall Foliage Excursion offers changing leaves and countryside views from an antique train this October.
“A fall trip through Bucks County can come with changing leaves, countryside views and a seat aboard an antique train this October.”
Starts at the Witch's Hat
Trips leave from the Witch's Hat Train Station in the middle of New Hope. The station dates to 1891.
Ninety minutes to Buckingham
The round trip takes about 90 minutes. The train runs to Buckingham, changes direction and heads back to New Hope.
The coaches are the draw
Riders sit in restored passenger cars from the early 1900s on the New Hope Branch line.
“Much of the experience comes from the train itself.”
