Delaware & Ulster Railroad

“Fun leaf peeping train! A slow ride through a pretty piece of forest on a nice day. The folks working the train were kind and helpful. Everything was easy but the parking.”

“A Timeless Ride Through the Heart of the Catskills I recently had the pleasure of riding the Delaware & Ulster Railroad’s scenic Fall Foliage train, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we boarded the historic open-air car, we were transported into a world of vibrant colors, crisp mountain air, and nostalgic charm. The ride itself was the perfect length-about 45 minutes-and offered stunning views of the East Branch of the Delaware River, framed by a tapestry of red, orange, and gold leaves. Wildlife sightings added to the experience (we spotted a heron and a few deer!), and the gentle pace allowed us to soak in every detail without feeling rushed. The staff were warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about preserving the legacy of this beautiful railroad. The Arkville depot had a lovely exhibit showcasing the history of the region, and the gift shop was a great place to pick up a unique souvenir. Whether you're a history buff, a nature lover, or just looking for a peaceful escape from the city, this ride is a must. I’ll definitely be back-and next time, I’m bringing friends. Highly recommended for all ages!”

“We had tickets for the dining car. The train ride was so fun, such a great and novel experience. The train was pristine and the food was delightful. We so enjoyed the outdoor car after our meal. Truly an incredible experience and a must for the Catskills for locals and visitors alike.”
