I found the New Hope Valley Railway about 10 years
ago and after that the Christmas train has been a part of the
season for our family every year.
The tracks are only used on ride days and
are fenced away from the public area, that you should be
in.
There are old Diesel Locomotives, Steam
Locomotives, and other Rolling Stock on display, as well as the
museum. You can ride the train on the first Sunday of each month
from May through November. December will have 3 Christmas Train
Weekends. A garden train is set up on the site also. There is no
charge to view any of the equipment or museum, but there is a
charge to ride the trains.
To verify your find email me the builder's
number for engine # 17
