New Coach!
This May we introduced
former Central Railroad of New Jersey coach #1009 to our passenger trains. This
coach was built in the early 1920's and our volunteers just completed an
extensive overhaul, restoring its interior to its original appearance. Come ride
any of our Summer
Excursions to ride 1009!
Alexauken
Division
We've been pressing on with our effort to clear the Alexauken
Division and prepare for track rehabilitation. Work crews have reached as
far south as Mt. Airy, and we recently purchased more ties! Visit our website
to see a brief video with some shots of our recent progress.
BR&W
50'th Anniversary
On May 16-17 we celebrated our 50'th Anniversary in
style - with a special train for railroad employees and invited guests, and
special excursions for the public at our original 1965 prices. Hundreds of
guests visited and enjoyed a ride behind steam locomotive #60.
LV 112 Goes Incognito
Former Lehigh Valley Railroad
#112 is a small diesel-electric locomotive the BRRHT leases from Pennsy
Railcar Restorations to pull many of our passenger trains when steam
locomotive #60 is not operating. Recently, #112 received a fresh coat of paint
honoring one of BR&W's first locomotives, #400. Come ride our Summer
Excursions this summer to get a look!
