  It’s called a Hancock 47000 these were commonly used on the New Haven railroad but other Railroads! use them as well instead of having a loud horn they use these instead so there won’t be any noise complaints

  This is sad when hurricane Irene hit New York State in 2011 people lost homes and businesses and jobs and schools were cancelled for the first day of school in 2011 but in 2011 people came together to help rebuild after hurricane Irene was done to help rebuild homes businesses and schools

  Fantastic to see these old lines reopened👍👍 Here in the UK back in 1963 we had what was called 'The Beeching Report' whereby huge swathes of our rail network was closed. Most are gone forever but some have been kept going by private enterprise. Covid put hellish pressure on these enterprises and some are struggling to stay afloat. I wish you all well in your endeavours, power to your elbows lads and lasses 💪💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  Looks great! Seeing the old inactive U&D tracks in the woods on the way to Belleayre helped to spark my interest in railroad history in the first place. It's a shame you guys aren't able to get there anymore Truly would've been an incredible if not magical experience on that final stretch west of Phoenicia when the valley narrows (or rather the character of the area seems to change), the mountains overshadow you and there's only the creek and the road- a real life Polar Express at night in the middle of winter- nothing else like it. But good luck trying to get to Basin Road or Glenford Dike if you're still aiming that far (1 mile trail overlap isn't that much!) so you can at least have a nice scenic vista with the reservoir and mountains that could act as a fitting terminus.

  I was so confused. In the picture it looked to be a diesel, then I heard that whistle and was like ... no... steam. Then I heard the turbo and saw it pass the camera. So was an air powered steam whistle the factory noisemaker on this engine or was it added? There is nothing like the sound of a whistle. It is so alive compared to the diesel horns, and even worse the high pitch noise that the straight electric trains make. We need to reel things back a bit.

  2022: cherish this video. The state and county pulled the tracks west of Basin Road, and CMRR only operates now to Stony Hollow. But most of the track has been rebuilt from Westbrook Lene to Stony Hollow, and it’s a very fine ride. Hope is to extend to Basin Road.

  Great History Video! I had always hoped that the whole line could have been used again for tourism. A couple of short lines existed like the "Tube Train" near Phoenicia, the D&H Line in Arkville, and the Catskill Mountain Railroad. The bad floods wiped out lot of critical sections of track that ended that hope. With all of the regulations today involving any work or disturbance of waterways and/or wetlands, I don't believe that the sections of track and bridges will ever be put back. So sad.

  That was great! I always wanted to take a trip like that. I lived in Fleischmanns from 1968 - 1971 when that freight line was active. The tracks went from Kingston to Oneonta. I recall a major derailment near Shokan and the repair crews were parked on 28 and had to trudge through 2ft of snow to get to the site. They were there for several days! It's too bad that several large sections of the tracks and some bridges were destroyed by the major floods over the years. :(

  It would be great if passengers could get off the train at Basin Rd. to walk on the rail trail, maybe even having a choice of trains back to Kingston. The track is up an embankment, so a "tourist hub" might be tricky.
