"The Catskill Flyer, operated by the Catskill Mountain Railroad, is returning for its 2026 season with weekend rides that feel like stepping straight into a pastoral postcard."
"Departing from Kingston's Stockade District, the 90-minute, round-trip journey rolls through some of the oldest landscapes in the country, cutting across the Hurley Flats, farmland that dates back to the 1600s."
"Part of the charm is the train itself. The Flyer is pulled by a vintage diesel locomotive that dates back to the early 1950s and you can tell as it moves along the tracks."
"Trips run on select weekends from May through September, with departures at 11 am, 1 pm and 3 pm, making it easy to plan a visit."
