While it's sad that the country ripped up a lot of rail, the CMRR is running from Kingston west to Stony Hollow, a couple of miles from Glenford Dike, where the excursion trip went. It's a really nice ride and (as of this year, 2019), is happening several times every weekend: @t has the details.
At present, Ulster County is poised to remove all the rail along the reservoir. This includes the 1.1 mile section from Stony Hollow to the Glenford Dike. If they rip out the rails, there will be no trains to the Glenford Dike. There is an effort by CMRR and supporters to save this section of the rail to make such a trip possible in the future. We'll see what the Legislature does. They must approve any rail removal.
Why doesn't someone contact the President and let him in on the misfortunes of ALL your hard work. He happens to be an enormous admirer of the Catskills and has spent lots of time there. Political clout on the highest level couldn't hurt after ALL your amazing hard work and what this would do for the region.
The scenery is stunning, now I know why people visit the Catskills on holiday.
Excellent footage and scenery - I Liked & Subscribed 👍😎
I LOADED AT A ROCK QUARRY UP IN THOSE CATSKILL MTNS.- BEAUTIFUL!!

The county didn't think the train could reach the reservoir. They proved them wrong.

Yeah, let's remove ALL railroad vintages so we can please all 3 or 4 cycling fanatics.

Don't confuse these green geniuses with facts.
Looped audio? Personally I was more interested in the loco than the scenery but it was beautiful.
Hope this can become a regular excursion!
What can anyone. say as this very visual masterpiece as well a time saving route between Kingston. and Phoenician... And beyond. .
I was on this train
is it possible to swin / run boats in the ashokan reservoir? if so, this has great tourist potential!
no swimming. only metal row boats for fishing.
The sound doesn't seem to quite match up to the pictures....
Cool video
+Harrison Peloso thanks
My dad just bought the entire operation
I don't think so.
Nice try, troll
isn't there room along side the rail line for the trail?
+crwa train fan
lots of room most of the way. some tight spots
Tobe Carey Any word yet on the legislatures desicion about the tracks along the reservoir?
The Fat Bluntroller they are tearing it up
Cape Main Rail Photography Why and how?
Why is that milestone metric?
This is all history now. Now I can enjoy my bike riding along the reservoir.
NOT ENOUGH INFO! What's going on? Is this track being abandoned??? NOT COOL!
join the conversation .the county ripped up the rails along the reservoir.

What will happen to the equipment
The equipment is owned by the CMRR and they will have to move it from the ROW when the lease is over...May 31st.
Will the equipment be scrapped?
btw the line will be running later this year
+Christopher Bradley Except for the part theyre tearing out.
yeah i dont think the alcos should be scraped
If the trains were being used to the extent of profitability, they wouldn’t be ripped up. How much tax money are you willing to spend on nothing?
Instead of riding around and taking pictures, some of those volunteers need to tighten up loose joint bars.
