Steam & Excursion > The Mount Lahaska Cogless RailwayDate: 12/30/10 14:56 The Mount Lahaska Cogless Railway Author: Mgoldman Otherwise known as the New Hope and Ivyland as seen from a unique perspective
near the line's tourist terminus of Lahaska. And you thought you had to go to New Hampshire to get to the "mountains"! /Mitch  Date: 12/30/10 14:57 Re: The Mount Lahaska Cogless Railway Author: Mgoldman Here's the view, #40 approaching the crest:

Date: 12/30/10 16:04 Re: The Mount Lahaska Cogless Railway Author: Mgoldman Not sure the grade but as for the GE C39-8's, I think there
are 5 of them there now. Most of them, if not all of them are for Ross Rowland's Greenbriar express (in lieu of steam for the time being). They are being rebuilt by the New Hope and Ivyland for the project. New Hope itself runs a nicely painted GE C30-7. /Mitch Date: 12/31/10 04:52 Re: The Mount Lahaska Cogless Railway Author: co614 The ruling grade on the NH&I Southbound ( New Hope towards Lahaska/Buckingham) is 1.3% for about 3 miles, the hump out of Lahaska going North towards New Hope is 1.7%.
The overall track structure has been improved greatly in recent years and is now in good condition for the 20 mph track speed. Ross Rowland |
