New Hope Railroad's Fall Foliage Excursion takes passengers on a 90-minute round trip from New Hope to Buckingham aboard restored passenger cars from the early 1900s.

A fall trip through Bucks County can come with changing leaves, countryside views and a seat aboard an antique train this October.

New Hope Railroad's Fall Foliage Excursion takes passengers from the distinctive Witch’s Hat Train Station, established in 1891 in the heart of New Hope, on a roughly 90-minute round trip to Buckingham and back.

Much of the experience comes from the train itself. Passengers make the journey aboard restored coaches dating to the early 1900s, traveling along the New Hope Branch while a storyteller shares historical facts and stories about notable landmarks along the route. Once the train reaches Buckingham, it changes direction for the return trip to New Hope.

Passengers can choose between First Class and Coach Class or reserve a Private Caboose. The excursion is suitable for all ages.
