Steam & Excursion > CN 4-6-0 at New Hope amd Ivyland.

Whatever happened to the CN tenwheeler that ran at New Hope
in the early 70's. I think it was numbered 1433 or something like that

She is long out of service (CN 1533), and in derelict condition now. Shame as she was a pretty little engine with nice 10 Wheeler lines

click and paste this link for a picture of a very sad looking engine.

Well, she looks better then the "now" link posted - a few
years back they cleaned her up a bit and put on a coat of
protective primer.

If I recall correctly, CN #1533 was last in service for about
10 days in 1975. 2-8-0 #40 was restored and operated in 1975
and has been the engine of choice since.

In the late 60's, both #40 and #1533 were active while in the
late 70's both #40 and 0-6-0 #9 (now at SMS in New Jersey) were
both active.

Here's a picture from June 2011:

Is she still at New Hope. Who owns her?

I was going to ask about the NdeM 4-8-4, but I guess that cab in the background in that last shot answers that.

Still at New Hope, same spot - behind the shops.

And, yes, owned by the railroad.

As for NdeM #3028 - she moves back and forth between
the deadline at the end of the line way behind the
shops and occasionally into the yard and even the
shop, but it's been some time. Rumor has it the
owners would like to get her back for display at a
new Alco museum in NY?

Here's a pic from a thread I posted in October of 2013:

Here's the 1533 in better days. The first two are from March 1967 when the 1533 was used in mixed train service to Ivyland. I was at Wycombe helping my grandfather who was employed by the railroad at that time. They were refurbishing the interiors of two coaches (1505 and 1424). The crew were switching out some of the blue, former King Coal/Schuylkill coaches. The third is a runby on a fantrip from New Hope to Ivyland in September 1971. This was in conjunction with the NRHS Convention in Bethlehem, PA.
