Wow I would love to get up there someday and ride this train!
Im a big railfan and love what you guys are doing
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Very interesting. I'm into the old railroads. I stopped at the VFW, down in Wurtsboro, they had a garage sale. It was an old station from way back. I bought a book while I was there. The book had all the old track plans in it. It showed the old tunnel thru the mountain. It would be a nice train ride from there up to Kingston. The roadbed is there but no tracks. We camp there during the summer. I'm going to bring my Grand kids up your way to take a ride. Thanks for the video.
Grandfather an uncle rowe worked on the U&D in 1912 - ? Wish I was there to give a hand keep up the good work
Great video! Very well done!
This weekend they reached Rt. 209.
Thanks, Harrison. The "Rails to the Catskills" documentary will be completed in 2014...stay tuned.
I've volunteered. It's fun!
Love What The CMRR Is Trying To Achieve!!! It Would Be A Historical Asset To This Area If We Had A passenger Steamer Going From Kinston To The Catskills!!! People would come from all over the world to ride a steamer into the Catskills & bring much needed Tax revenue to this area while Preserving our history!!!

The old Catskill Mountain Railway did start in Catskill, but I don't know where the gym was, or if the tracks passed it. Thanks for your interest.
Where did you get the recording of the mandolin music? Love it and the video!

Music by Paul Lounsbury and Dick Staber. Glad you enjoyed the film.
You guys and gal's are legends. One day I wish to see your railroad (Australian) and ride on it, well done. Do any of the steam engines still exist from these roads?..Cheers, Stefan.
I can't wait for them to make their way up to 28
I would like to buy this line from the county and restore it
Amazing how one person can destroy all of this…

Thanks, Stefan. The guys who know all about the locomotives, etc. are Catskill Mountain RR...I'm a lowly filmmaker living close by...but there are no steam engines in use, although I have seen parts in their rail yard. Check their web site and Facebook pages for info and their current political struggle. Tobe
Dale Flansburgh is my grandfather he was featured in this dvd

100 years too late. Air conditioning was invented, nice college project. MAGLEV is the way to go. You are not competing with reality of the crowds want - speed.
