@stangtrain posted:Many enjoyable hours were spent at the New Hope train station with my grandchildren when we lived in Washington Crossing PA! After watching the train leave the station, we sometimes walked down the street to Dunkin Donuts for a treat and by the time we finished and walked back up the hill to the station, we heard the horn off in the distance and waited for the train to return from it's trip through beautiful Bucks County! The train would return with the locomotive in front but backwards (i.e. long hood forward) as they had no way to turn it around. Same procedure when steam engine #40 was running. What an almost alive little beast that engine is, maybe as others stated above, Lionel may decorate a future locomotive like this:
Bowman's Tower, Point Pleasant Canoes, Bucks County Playhouse. Hey, how about the Bucks County Drive-in...
