THE CATSKILL MOUNTAIN RAILROAD IS BACK ON TRACK

After suffering the damaging effects of flood waters caused by Hurricane Irene the Catskill Mountain Railroad has restored the Esopus Scenic Train service. The Scenic Train ride now travels along a modified 5-mile round trip between Mt. Tremper and Boiceville, New York. Fares have been reduced accordingly. All trains depart from Mt. Tremper Station, located along Route 28, just 22 miles from Kingston.
