Some additional tidbits:

1.  The New Hope/Ivyland trackage is an extension of the former Reading
        Hatboro branch.  SEPTA now owns the branch and has extended
        electrification and rail service to Warminster.

2.  Once upon a time Buckingham Valley was the home of a trolley museum.
        For a while (~10 years ago ?) one could ride the Reading to
        Warminster, an interurban streetcar to Buckingham Valley, and
        thence the New Hope and Ivyland to New Hope.  The BV group
        had a falling out with the NH&I owners and wound up moving to
        leased space onthe Phila. waterfront (where they operate a vintage
        streetcar line on Delaware Ave.)  This group is now having problems
        with the city due to redevelopment of the waterfront.  (Seems
        there are far more productive things to do with old piers than
        house a trolley museum.)
