Enjoy scenic train rides along the Esopus Creek!
Board our train at Mt. Pleasant or Phoenicia and step back to a time when train travel was the only practical way to access the Catskills. Relax in our 1920s coach or enjoy fresh air and wide open views from our gondola car. Listen for the engine’s whistle and be on the lookout for wildlife. See the scenic Esopus Creek and the Catskills in a way you just can’t appreciate from your car. You’ll enjoy views that haven’t been seen since regular passenger service ended on this line in 1954. Visit the Empire State Railway Museum housed in the Phoenicia station to learn more about this region’s history! Enjoy our snack bar and gift shop, where information about nearby attractions and acommodations are available!
