    For the Railfans

    Came into SEPA/SWNJ on Sunday night to spend some time with my mom.

    Stopped Sunday evening in New Hope PA. Wanted to show the Boss & Little Miss Field Day the old family homestead, and my old high school. Afterwards, we came up on the old New Hope & Ivyland RR, so even though it was getting pretty late (and they'd clearly closed up for the evening), we stopped and poked around a little.

    These are the engines I saw. I know nothing about them.


    Now what I didn't see were steam locomotives 40 & 1533. I presume 40 was inside the engine house.. I couldn't get close enough to look. No idea where 1533 was, but at least it wasn't sitting behind the engine house, off it's wheels, rusting away. I read somewhere that it got a coat of black rustoleum a couple of years ago, so maybe after almost 30 years, they're finally going to rebuild it. I hope.
