Wow I would love to get up there someday and ride this train!
Im a big railfan and love what you guys are doing
Grandfather an uncle rowe worked on the U&D in 1912 - ? Wish I was there to give a hand keep up the good work
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Very interesting. I'm into the old railroads. I stopped at the VFW, down in Wurtsboro, they had a garage sale. It was an old station from way back. I bought a book while I was there. The book had all the old track plans in it. It showed the old tunnel thru the mountain. It would be a nice train ride from there up to Kingston. The roadbed is there but no tracks. We camp there during the summer. I'm going to bring my Grand kids up your way to take a ride. Thanks for the video.
Love What The CMRR Is Trying To Achieve!!! It Would Be A Historical Asset To This Area If We Had A passenger Steamer Going From Kinston To The Catskills!!! People would come from all over the world to ride a steamer into the Catskills & bring much needed Tax revenue to this area while Preserving our history!!!
Thanks...check out the trailer for the completed film Rails to the Catskills film on UA-cam at

Great video! Very well done!
You guys and gal's are legends. One day I wish to see your railroad (Australian) and ride on it, well done. Do any of the steam engines still exist from these roads?..Cheers, Stefan.
This weekend they reached Rt. 209.
I've volunteered. It's fun!
Where did you get the recording of the mandolin music? Love it and the video!
Music by Paul Lounsbury and Dick Staber. Glad you enjoyed the film.
Soon up will be a short video about the Delaware & Ulster railroad. Stay tuned!
I would like to buy this line from the county and restore it
I can't wait for them to make their way up to 28
Now this is dedication ! I was raised up there. This happened after I had already moved to the South. Would have loved to see it.

Thanks for your comments. Enjoy the area when next you're up here.
Tobe, glorious, I loved the feeling running through it.
Thanks, Stefan.
The guys who know all about the locomotives, etc. are Catskill Mountain RR...I'm a lowly filmmaker living close by...but there are no steam engines in use, although I have seen parts in their rail yard. Check their web site and Facebook pages for info and their current political struggle.

Thanks, Harrison.
The "Rails to the Catskills" documentary will be completed in 2014...stay tuned.
Are these the tracks of the railroad that went by Cus D'Amato 's gym in the Catskills,?
The old Catskill Mountain Railway did start in Catskill, but I don't know where the gym was, or if the tracks passed it. Thanks for your interest.
About 3 minutes you will see me on the train when i belonged
