Looking for adventure? Our passenger train excursions have you covered. Join us for trips departing Utica’s historic Union Station for destinations including Remsen, Thendara, Big Moose, and Tupper Lake!

This image, submitted by a local railfan, showcases our Wine & Spirits Train heading towards Remsen on a beautiful summer afternoon. The train is crossing the New York State Barge Canal on one of several New York Central-era trestles.

Our ever popular Adirondack Limited passenger train is seen rolling through Marcy on its northward journey. Thanks to an area railfan for this awesome video!

We would also like to thank the Mohawk, Adirondack & Northern for lending C425 #2456 for this excursion.

Our only ALCO C420, ADIX No. 2064, is seen in the lead of our Big Moose train as it crosses the New York State Barge Canal in Marcy. This train operates on Thursday’s out of our Utica terminal and runs to Big Moose where passengers enjoy a several-hour layover to take in what the town has to offer. Passengers also have the option to detrain in Thendara instead to enjoy what the Old Forge area has to offer while the train completes its run to Big Moose.

No. 2064 came to us from the Mohawk Adirondack & Northern. It served as their No. 408, still wearing the paint of the Delaware & Hudson. It was originally built for the Lehigh Valley as their No. 408. We repainted the locomotive as the D&H paint was in very poor shape. It currently wears an all black paint scheme with white accents. The plan is to eventually give it New York Central inspired “Lightning Stripes”, but we have not yet had the time to do so.

NOTE:
This narrative is based on plans from the prototype our modeling is based on. 2064 never received the planned lighting stripes and was sold to a short line in Tennessee. It is still active as of this posting.

We are proud to announce that AS&CV #250 is officially in service! The locomotive is painted in a patriotic scheme in celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Several American flags are featured all around the locomotive and the classic “250” insignia is proudly displayed on both ends.

250 came to us from the Blue River Railroad, formerly their #16, and underwent a full restoration in our Utica shops. It is a GE 44-Tonner, built originally in 1940 for industrial switching service. Blue River used it up to 1965 as their primary yard switcher until higher horsepower locomotives were needed in order to handle the increase in traffic. It would then sit sidelined until we agreed to purchase it in 2024.

Today, we honored America by operating a business train powered by #250. Three of our beautifully painted passenger cars joined the locomotive for the trim, which terminated at Utica Union Station. A photo shoot was held in Utica, with the locomotive parked on CSX Track 1 and some of our other equipment in the background to complement the scene.

We would like to thank CSX and the Blue River Railroad for making this historic day possible.

For anyone who desires to come see the locomotive, it will be operating in regular passenger service on our Utica to Holland Patent trains throughout the rest of the summer. Following this summer, it can be seen handling yard duties in our Utica passenger terminal, adjacent to the Track 1 platform. Please remember, Safety First, ALWAYS stay 25 feet back, and do not trespass on Railroad property.

Our trio of New York Central heritage locomotives lead a special photo freight consist on the former Water Level Route, seen passing the cliffs just east of Little Falls. The train is deadheading back to Utica following a weekend long event in Albany. The three are original NYC locomotives, restored to their original paint and numbers by our team of talented paint shop employees.
