SCENIC TRAIN RIDES

Ride the Rails Through the Catskills

All aboard for a 45 minute ride into the scenic Catskill Mountain Wilderness on the newly reopened Delaware & Ulster Railroad.

Emerge from the Arkville station into a landscape frozen in time, where the East Branch of the Delaware River winds through the very haunts that inspired Washington Irving’s legendary Rip Van Winkle. Each mile of track represents a triumph of preservation, reconnecting travelers with the heart of the Catskills. Majestic mountains rise like sentinels, framing a journey that reveals the region’s untamed spirit.

Wildlife thrives alongside the restored railway—bald eagles soar above crystalline waters, blue herons wade in pristine streams, and deer watch from verdant forests.

Choose between the comfort of our classic Coach Cars, or our Open-Air cars, where the mountain breeze becomes your companion or for those desiring a more luxurious ride may travel in style in our air conditioned First Class Lounge or Premium Coach, or enjoy a private view of the tracks in our round end First Class Parlor. September and October beckon with a spectacular transformation, as fall’s blazing palette turns the landscape into a canvas of crimson, gold, and amber.
This is more than a train ride—it’s a triumphant return, a celebration of preservation, and an invitation to witness the Catskills reawakened!
