New Hope and Ivyland Railroad - Stations and Trackage

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)
