Viewing Album:  Delaware and Ulster Railroad - tourist train in the Catskills
 
By:Bob Krug
Dates:9/10/2016 - 9/10/2016
Album Info:The Delaware and Ulster Railroad operates a weekend tourist train ride in a scenic corner of the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. The train originates in Arkville, NY, and rolls north (railroad west) to Roxbury; 13 miles. Motive power on the day I visited was e{-D&H chopnose Alco RS36 number 5017, still painted in the D&H’s eye-catching lightning stripe livery. These rails are the ex-NYC Catskill Branch, which ran from Kingston, NY west over the mountains to a connection with the D&H in Oneonta. These rails are currently severed from any connection with the outside rail network, so all the equipment has to be trucked in.

Description:  Part of the "Rip Van Winkle Flyer" trainset. The tourist operation hires out this train to local restaurants who cater meals that are served aboard the train as it traverses the upper Delaware River valley. I don't see any Rip Van Winkle Flyers on the current schedule, but this would be a wonderful dining experience.
