Delaware and Ulster Railroad

The Delaware and Ulster Railroad in Arkville, New York, operates scenic excursion trains through the beautiful Catskill Mountains along a preserved segment of the historic Ulster & Delaware Railroad — a line that opened in 1870 and served as the main artery connecting New York City with the Catskill Mountain resorts in their late-19th-century heyday. Departing from the restored Arkville Depot, the railroad runs diesel-powered excursions through classic Catskill scenery of forests, farms, and mountain streams, including a crossing of the East Branch of the Delaware River. The railroad offers rides on weekends from Memorial Day through October, with popular fall foliage excursions highlighting the spectacular autumn colors of the Delaware Valley. Special event trains throughout the season celebrate the history and natural beauty of this quintessentially New York landscape.
