HistoryThe New Hope station was once the terminal point of the Reading Company's New Hope Branch. Regular service to this station ended September 1952. The station became a heritage railroad station of the NHRR, which was originally known as the New Hope Branch of the Reading Company (RDG), which leased the North Pennsylvania Railroad, of which it was a part. The railroad ran as far as Hartsville Station (near Bristol Road) until March 21, 1891, when the line was extended to the long-desired terminal of New Hope, Pennsylvania.[3] A decade after June 1952, when Hatboro-New Hope passenger service terminated, the RDG's financial situation was precarious. Looking to rid themselves of unprofitable branch lines via abandonment, a group of train buffs and businessmen led by Philadelphia attorney Kenneth Souser — established as Steam Trains, Inc. — were seeking to operate steam trains on a for-profit basis.[2] Steam Trains, Inc. became organized as the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad, and on June 20, 1966, the 16.7 mile line was sold for $200,000.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite news|title=150 Take Last Train Ride on Old New Hope Line|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/14499368/new_hope_ends_june_8_1952/|accessdate=October 18, 2017|work=The Philadelphia Inquirer|date=June 8, 1952|page=41|via=Newspapers.com}} {{open access}} {{Frank Furness}}{{Pennsylvania-railstation-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|last1=Balkin|first1=Marc|title=Ride the New Hope Line!|date=2007|publisher=Mark I Videos}} 3. ^1 {{Cite book| last = Pawson | first = John R. | authorlink = | coauthors = | title = Delaware Valley Rails: The Railroads and Rail Transit Lines of the Philadelphia Area | publisher = John R.
