A trip aboard the Delaware & Ulster Railroad is a trip back to the Golden Age of Passenger Trains. We operate traditional excursion with closed and open cars. Passengers can also arrange to charter our special caboose for small private groups. As the seasons change, your trip features continually evolving scenery and glimpses of assorted wildlife including birds, beavers, deer, and other native animals as you travel along the East Branch of the Delaware River. On many trips Bald Eagles or Great Blue Herons can be seen soaring or fishing in the lakes and rivers along the railroad, with Catskill Mountains as a dramatic backdrop. We also operate a steam locomotive during our Spring and September Steam Train weekends, along with our popular Train Robberies on the railroad. In addition, on some days we operate the Rip Van Winkle Flyer, offering a delightful lunch in our dining cars.
Trains roll from early spring to late Autumn; the Rip Van Winkle Flyer can be booked for group trips and charters from May to November. The Delaware & Ulster Railroad is located just three hours north of New York City via the New York State Thruway. Our station and other facilities are fully accessible with ample parking for motor coaches, buses, and automobiles.
