Remarks: In what seems to be a winter wonderland, we take you trackside along the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad. The North Pole Express trains are usually a bit too much for little #40 to handle, so help is provided by NH&I's powerhouse #7087; an ex-SBD GE C30-7. We'll not only hear the chug of the steam engine, but also from the big GE. We'll climb aboard the helper unit, as it shoves the train up the steepest part of the hill going south. So sit back, enjoy this wintery mix of railroading.
