The North Carolina Railway Museum (NCRM) operates the New Hope Valley Railway, an all-volunteer operated railway where children, parents, grandparents, families, railfans and others can enjoy a day together riding a real train, learning about railroad history, watching the G Scale model garden railroad, visiting the outdoor NCRM and gift shop, or viewing equipment in the rail yard. The public is i

nvited to visit this unique destination in historic Bonsal, North Carolina, located off U.S. Highway 1, Exit 89, just 30 minutes southwest of downtown Raleigh. During the ride season, which begins in the spring and lasts through the end of the year, trains generally operate one Saturday and one Sunday each month (with multiple departure times), as well as 10:30 a.m. rides on one Wednesday and one Friday each month. Special Halloween and Santa trains run during October and December. Visitors to our historic museum and railway enjoy a train ride in a covered, open-air passenger car. The Triangle’s Train travels along four miles of historic track through piney woods and over a trestle on an hour-long, round-trip ride from Bonsal to New Hill and back. Our train rides take place in all weather conditions—rain, snow, wind, sleet, heat waves, etc. Go to www.TriangleTrain.com to see the dates for public train rides, times and fares. Purchasing tickets online in advance is recommended as available seats can fill up quickly. You can also support our all-volunteer organization with a donation (click the Donate Button on our page). One hundred percent of donations and NHVR ticket fare revenues (after sales taxes), go directly to our museum and help us continue to preserve railroad history, maintain our track and equipment, and share our love of trains with the Triangle-area and beyond! All donations are tax deductible.
