Between New Hope and Lebanon the line passes through a number of small towns that provide basic services and also a variety of interesting historic sites.
The largest town in this section is Lebanon, which has a restored downtown area with many historic buildings housing shops and restaurants.
Also at the depot site are a playground, picnic gazebo, restored caboose and maintenance of way car, and a short walking trail on the right way.
The last thru train passed here in July 1986, after which, the line was ripped out almost overnight from 10 ft west of Main Street, to Popes Creek Rd area, Lebanon KY.
Remain trackage was used to serve the grain mill on far east Main St, as well as car storage on downtown sidings near the depot.
