Welcome to TriangleTrain.com

New Hope Valley Railway / North Carolina Railway Museum (NCRM)

The NCRM operates New Hope Valley Railway so that visitors can experience a ride on our historic railroad. Also affectionately known as the “Triangle’s Train”, it travels along 4 miles of historic track through piney woods and over a trestle on an hour-long, round trip from Bonsal to New Hill and back. In addition, on some ride days we also offer food and drinks for sale. Please keep in mind that we are only open to visitors during the times we run trains on scheduled ride days. Steam Locomotive rides are not available at this time.

#302 Fuel Train Caboose has been added to the train. For more information, go to Fuel Train Caboose. To purchase tickets, go to Buy Tickets above and select the ride date and time.  The #302 Fuel Train Caboose is a ticketing option for the rides that have it.

We have a Wednesday Weekday Group Ride on November 8th at 10:30.

If  your group contains 20 or more riders, you may request an offer code to order your tickets as a group with a $1.00 discount per rider.
