Arcade & Attica Railroad

The only operating steam passenger railroad in New York State.

Wyoming County

The Arcade & Attica Railroad runs 14 miles of track between Arcade and Curriers Station through the Wyoming County farmland that has looked mostly the same since the 1880s. It holds two distinctions: it's one of the last common-carrier shortline railroads in the United States that runs regular freight and passenger service on the same track, and its Steam Locomotive No. 18 (a 1920 Consolidation) is the only operating steam passenger engine in New York. Passenger excursions run weekends from Memorial Day through the last weekend of September in vintage WWII-era Boonton coaches pulled by vintage diesels. October weekends are fall foliage runs on the steam engine. Seasonal special events, Santa's Wonderland Express in December, Civil War weekends, World War II weekends, wine and beer tastings, murder mysteries, picnic and cycle tours, are the rest of the calendar. Don't miss: the fall foliage steam runs in October, the Santa's Wonderland Express in December, or the July picnic and cycle tour, which loads bikes on the train for the outbound trip and rides back through Wyoming County hills.
