Buckingham Valley is a defunct station on the Reading Company's New Hope Branch. The original station building, designed by Furness, Evans & Company in 1891, closed in 1952 and was demolished in 1953.[1] The current station building was relocated to this site from the Valley Forge Scenic Railroad about 1970.[2]
The station is currently on the line used by the New Hope and Ivyland Railroad. Train service to New Hope is offered from this station to alleviate parking issues due to the New Hope Friday night fireworks.[3]
