Philadelphia Rapid Transit W-55 |
| Description: |
Built in 1923 by J.G. Brill Car Company as a MOW crane for Philadelphia Rapid Transit, this old trolley faces an uncertain future on the grounds of the former Buckingham Valley Trolley Association. Now owned by the Electric City Trolley Museum of Scranton, PA, it is unlikely that this piece of rapid transit history will ever turn a wheel again. |

Two graduates of GE's Erie, PA works, built for Conrail in the 1980s, will soon be hauling freight for the upstart Pennsylvania Northeastern Railroad out of Lansdale, a joint venture between NHIR and EPRY. Until the operation is handed over from CSX though the locos will continue to perform work for one of their owners. |

One of the New Hope & Ivyland's dining cars trails the end of the two car regular excursion this day. Built in 1922 as Reading Company 1202, it is part of the fleet of coaches that NHIR acquired from the defunct Valley Forge Scenic Railroad in 1969. In 1983 this car was repainted into a P&R paint scheme as a commemoration of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway's 150th anniversary. |

BDRV 8142 |
| Description: |
BDRV 8142 is seen at NS/BR&W interchange next to the CNJ era crossing sign. The interchange was put in at this point in the 1970s, near the end of the CNJ, so as to avoid having to cross an old, dangerous bridge near Neshanic on the CNJ South Branch. CNJ assigned a locomotive to this segment of the line to work industry in the Flemington area before the BR&W took over operations in 1976. The last CNJ unit to work this line, RS-3 1554, went to the Black River along with the line. Today the South Branch east of here has been abandoned. |

Abandoned SEPTA Station |
| Description: |
The platform and signage are all that remains of the old Lenni station. The station building, since demolished, once stood to the left of the platform. SEPTA still maintains a base around the curve for the purpose of training new operators and the WCRL has an indoor storage facility for some of their equipment that is stored out of service there as well. Current plans call for SEPTA service to be restored to Wawa, just west of here once more funds are located for the project. |
