News and EventsThrough 2007 and 2008, the all-volunteer Catskill Mountain Railroad has been busy working to expand their operating territory. Volunteers have restored track extending the Esopus Scenic Train ride to Cold Brook station in Boiceville. Right now the railroad is making long-term plans to extend the Scenic Train ride along the Ashokan Reservoir. The railroad volunteers have also been active in Kingston as well. As a result of their hard work, CMRR is now offering an extended Kingston Shuttle ride! Expansion in Kingston is the first part of our long-term goal of reaching the scenic Ashokan Reservoir. We post regular updates of Catskill Mountain Railroad volunteers hard at work on various projects to operate, maintain, and restore the Catskill Mountain Railroad to full operation from Kingston to Highmount, New York. Follow this link to the NERail Photo Archive to see new photos posted every week. In May 2010, the railroad took delivery of an additional locomotive to handle heavier trains. Our Esopus Scenic Train continues to grow in popularity, creating the need for the new-to-us locomotive! We are pleased to make our 2009 Progress Report available as a PDF file. Learn all about our accomplishments from the past year, and our immediate goals for the future. Thank you for your continued support!
