Every child's dream, a day trip aboard the chug chug train ! The DURR was a surprisingly good experience, and brought back childhood memories of going to the railway yard to watch the steam and diesel locomotives. The carriages take you down memory lane and the rocking motion of the train lulls you into a stupor. The open cars are great, especially to see the panoramic views of the Catskill mountains and the occasional passage of a group of butterflies as the train meanders through valleys and creeks. We had a picnic on the train, and our 3 year old enjoyed the ride immensely.
At first I was a little disappointed. We paid a decent amount foe a ride on "Thomas the tank engine" which lasted maybe fifteen minutes. The bathroom on the train was leaking from the ceiling in a way I can only describe as Titanic style. However, the activities OUTSIDE of the train were phenomenal and totally worth the money. I get that technical issues are a thing, and I'm just glad that my kid had a blast overall. I'd definitely visit again.
Was a very fun get away for the wife and I. It was an old school steam engine train ride through upstate New York. The scenery was great. The food and the staff was great. A good relaxing day, would like to get back for the train robbery show.
Wonderful vintage railroad right in the heart of the Catskills, great people keeping the best parts of our history alive. Definitely check out their website for special events they have throughout the year.
Very friendly staff and comfortable ride. Beautiful catskill foilage scenery.
It was a really fun trip and my kids loved it the leaves were great colors and the train ride was a lot of fun. The conductor did a good job of making everything runs smoothly we will definitely go again soon
Fantastic people and experience! The Santa train was fun and it was great with the family!
One of the most boring train rides I've ever been on. The scenery was terrible. The train stopped randomly multiple times. It was not fun. Would not recommend wasting the money to go on this train ride. The atmosphere of the ride was tacky and cheap. The guide rarely checked in or added any interesting facts either. It was just a really bad experience all around.
A fun ride to take with the kids. For comfort, the rear two cars are well-lighted and upholstered with velvet and AIR CONDITIONED! Very nice for the summer heat! While there is a restroom aboard the train, and portapotties at the destination station, I recommend using the stall at the originating station. Expect about 2 hours round trip.
We sat on an open-air flatbed car and enjoyed the breeze as we rolled through the countryside. It felt great! This is a must-do for families visiting the area. I wish it was longer, and actually went higher into the mountains, but I really can't complain.
