Stations and Trackage
The NHRR is primarily a single-track railroad with passing sidings at Lahaska, Buckingham Valley, Wycombe and Ivyland. Most of those passing sidings (with the exception of Lahaska, which is used for moving locomotives used in excursions around the train in order to reverse to New Hope) are currently used as storage tracks for passenger and freight cars.
No block signalization exists on the NHRR, however, almost all highway grade crossings have been modernized with full signals and gates.
The stations along the NHRR were:
- New Hope
- Huffnagle/Hood(in Solebury Township)
- Reeder (on Reeder Road in Solebury Township)
- Lahaska (Current station built by NH&I RR in the late 20th. Century on Street Road in Buckingham Township. The original Reading Railroad station was moved less than a mile away to become a house which involved it's witch's hat roof to be removed and it's structure to be elevated.)
- Bycot (on Holicong Road in Buckingham Township, a small recent building exists there)
- Buckingham Valley built by The Reading Company "Iron Side" in the late 19th century. The current station was moved from the Pickering Branch near Phoenixville, PA in the 1970s. The station is located on Upper Mountain Road just off of PA 413 in Buckingham Township)
- Wycombe (on Township Line Road in Buckingham Township)
- Rushland (on Rushland Road in Wrightstown Township)

Famous quotes containing the words stations and and/or stations:
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send cheques to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
