Here is a question that I only expect one member on here to have a non-speculative answer to. What are the chances of re-activating the BR&W between New Hope, and Lambertville?

The roadbed needs alot of work especially where it parallels the canal and I believe a bridge needs work done as well. When I worked for the NH&I in 99-01, I remember on weekends #40 would exchange whistle salutes with #60 late on Saturday nights when it would make a run on a dinner train I think. Ahhh the good ole times I miss on the BR&W.I just think the whole rr has fallen on hard times with track and equipment etc, although thats not a knock on the people who run the place. Hopefully kenb2k will respond as I believe he is the owner of the BR&W.
