Heritage Railroad
Excursion passenger trains are operated on a regular schedule during the tourist season using steam and diesel locomotives. Excursions depart from the passenger station in New Hope or at the passenger station in Lahaska. Passengers may get off at either station and take a later train back to their originating station. Passenger trains depart the New Hope Station on the hour and from the Lahaska Station 20 minutes past the hour. The last train of the day ends in New Hope. In addition to the regular New Hope-Lahaska excursion trains which operate daily between Memorial Day and late November and on weekends all year round, the NHIR also has several special event trains throughout the year. Special seasonal trains include Easter, Fall Foliage, Halloween and Santa trains. Additionally, rare 32-mile round-trip trains operate as the Spring and Fall Foliage trains to Warminster.
Special passenger trains are operated in charter service providing dinners, brunch and wine tasting trains through the rolling hills and valleys of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

Famous quotes containing the words heritage and/or railroad:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“Though the railroad and the telegraph have been established on the shores of Maine, the Indian still looks out from her interior mountains over all these to the sea.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
