McHugh Bros.

McHugh Bros. were the operator of the New Hope & Ivyland from 1974 to 1989. They bought Copper Range 100 & 101 for use on the New Hope & Ivyland. Other Baldwins were bought to be leased out and for parts. Of these the 101 & 302 later went to SMS Rail Lines as McHugh is the "M" in SMS. [4]
