Wilmington & Western - Festival Express 2014 (in HD)

Every year, the Wilmington & Western Railroad, based a few miles out of its' namesake city in Delaware, hosts an art festival, used as a fundraising event for the railroad, in Hockessin, DE. The railroad, in conjunction with the event, runs their former Pennsylvania Railroad "Doodlebug", #4662 "The Paul Revere" on short trips out of Hockessin. Starting at Memorial Hall, the train runs to town of Ashland and return - an approximately 40-minute round trip. This event is held one weekend every year, and BJVP went out for this year's Saturday trips.
Enjoy the views of the "Paul Revere" meandering through the Delaware countryside, across trestles, past waterfalls, and through rock cuts on the 2014 edition of the Festival Express!

My compliments to the person who recorded this, I loved seeing the scenery along the trackage and everything was well framed.

Man I was on it on the 23rd. It was the first time on it and I love the GG-1 horn on it

Outstanding footage. Don’t know why I haven’t seen this before. Wish I was closer (I’m in Illinois) as I’d love to go on this excursion. Thanks for sharing

If you're ever out this way, you definitely should!!

Top notch pro level camera work. Great frame work and set-ups, especially catching the car going around a corner or over a bridge. Top 1% of vids for quality, IMO.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it!

I didn't even know any of those were operational. Will have to take a trip down there for a ride for sure!

[@Bigjimvideo]

Yup! This one and the one in Kutztown, PA as part of the Allentown & Auburn as well. Have fun!

Great shots, especially the ones with the waterfall. I don't think I've seen a shot from there before.

That a nice Doodlebug.

JOHNRAIL& RACEFAN88 that doodlebug needs a K5LA

Kinda depressing how that Pennsy B6 is just sitting there @1:17. I was hoping that it would be sent to another short line and be restored to operating condition, given that it doesn't have the traditional Pennsy belpaire firebox.
