Catskill Mountain Railroad

The Catskill Mountain Railroad operates scenic excursion trains through the heart of the Catskill Mountains in New York State, following the historic Ulster & Delaware Railroad corridor along Esopus Creek — one of the most storied trout-fishing streams in the country. Based in Phoenicia, the railroad runs diesel-powered passenger excursions through the charming villages and mountain valleys of the Catskills, offering riders dramatic views of the wooded peaks and rushing waterways that inspired the Hudson River School of painters. The Ulster & Delaware was completed in 1870 and once served as the primary link connecting New York City vacationers to the Catskill Mountain resorts. Today the railroad hosts seasonal excursions and special events celebrating the natural beauty and cultural heritage of this beloved region of New York.
