Railroading History in New York State

By Linda Tancs

The only steam engine train offering regular excursions in New York State, Arcade & Attica Railroad in Arcade is an authentic short line railroad with the distinction of being one of the last “common carriers” (running freight and passenger trains weekly). The journey to Curriers Station from Arcade takes approximately 40 minutes each way and runs every weekend from Memorial Day weekend until the last full weekend of September, along with special event rides and seasonal offerings. Be sure to visit the historic station in Arcade and view all the exhibits, from antique railroad lanterns to switch locks and even an old switch stand.
