Mohawk Valley Heritage Railroad

The Mohawk Valley Heritage Railroad, often referred to as “Rome’s Little Railroad,” offers a nostalgic and family-friendly excursion experience in the heart of Rome, New York. Operating primarily from March through December, this heritage line provides scenic 45-minute trips that cater to rail enthusiasts of all ages. While the railroad is famously home to a historic steam locomotive currently undergoing refurbishment, its regular seasonal runs are powered by a charming “critter” type locomotive. The excursions are designed to be an affordable gateway into local history, featuring special themed events like the “Day Out With Thomas” and holiday-specific rides that celebrate the rich railroading legacy of the Mohawk Valley.
