Over the years, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad branch faced increasing \u003cbr\u003efinancial difficulties, and by the 1960s, it had dwindled to a limited freight operation. At this time, a dedicated group of volunteers revived the railroad and incorporated their growing organization \u003cbr\u003eas Historic Red Clay Valley. The present-day Wilmington and Western Railroad owns 10.2 miles of the Landenberg Branch and operates between Greenbank Station and Hockessin. It offers steam- and diesel-powered tourist trains along its scenic tracks and \u003cbr\u003eprovides an educational and entertaining glimpse back in time while preserving part of the rich history of the Red Clay Valley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531633752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Gisela Vazquez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43418370179253,"sku":"9781531633752","price":27.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_2679fbad-fb25-4aa3-971c-3065808f352a.jpg?v=1703004612","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wilmington-and-western-railroad-9781531633752","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
