New Hope & Ivyland: Diesels Take Charge 

Gotta say, 7087 has to be one of my favorite engines. Always loved the NH&I paint scheme, and she wears it well.

Loving that RS3L on 2198. Sounds a lot like my favorite RS3L, the one on NS 5314.

nice! gotta like the intro. today they were useing steam 40 and the geep 30.

The believe that's an S3L on 2198. It's now on the 7087, which makes it sound like a U34CH! That S3L is 2198's original horn too!

Very nice video. I really enjoyed seeing the locomotive manufacturer and model identified on the screen. The image quality and sound quality were very good as well.

Ah ok, thanks for correcting me on that. Listen to NS 5314s horn, and you'll see it sounds very similar.

Great job as always, Adam!

that is some sketchy track work. great video, love the gp30.

40 is my favorite locomotive on the New Hope and Ivyland 7087 is my favorite diesel here

@TJBV08 They run under 25MPH, therefore they don't need ditchlights.

And my favorite's the 7087

@modeltrainman12345 They could theoretically, but the engine would only have enough water to make it there and back, and would take like a half hour to fill up back at New Hope. The other issue is that they run such tight schedules, that the engine wouldn't have time to refuel. Coal wouldn't be an issue, she holds 8 tons I think. On charters they can get away with getting a water truck or using one of their old tank cars as a water bottle, since they'd have the time to fill the tender.

Loved it, thanks

ex csx c30-7 i know by the ditch lights and the K5LA

If IRM or any tourist railroad could save the remaining C39-8 and the other dash 7 units in USA, I would be thrilled.

@chevelleguy3 They are pretty good lookin' diesels.

This year the GP-30 got a new horn

Not for nothing but does anyone else notice that C30-7 # 7087 lacks ditch light on her rear and i was thinking this is not FRA correct??????????? Unless someone can tell me different.

Why don't don't they ever use 40 on the trains to Warminster?

RIP 7087

Did I Miss something or have I only done a fraction of this line from New Hope to Lahaska? Wycombe and other stations were on the ticket but it seemed to me this railroad was shorter than what I have seen in this vid? (ps I'm from England so forgive me for anything I may have missed) P.S, $25 was a bit steep for a ride "1st class" on this line compared to a preserved line in the UK for treble the distance behind steam.

What happened to the steam engine?

@dmorris991 Welcome to Laaaaaaaaannnsssdale!

I wonder what happened to the 7087 I haven’t seen it in such a long time

Seems like there losing passengers

@TrainSounds It broked.

@metadyneman They are a pricey railroad. It unfortunately comes with the pricey area that they are in.

@trainfann1 I'm going to suggest that you stop TELLING me to go to this railroad. I know of it and I'm not wasting a day out to go see a 20-ton 2-foot gauge engine pull around some rinky-dink cars. Maybe if they gey their steam engine running, I will go up and see it. Until then, I have no interest in the place, even if they offer CABRIDES!!!!!!!!

@TJBV08 They run under 25MPH, therefore they don't need ditchlights.
