Catskill Mountain Railroad News - 2010

Please come out and support CMRR's Winter Holiday Shuttle trains, running ALL WEEK in Kingston... Departs on the hour from 1:00 to 4:00pm from Westbrook Lane in downtown Kingston. Even if you're only coming out to take pictures, please consider purchasing a souvenir ticket. Ticket sales directly fund our expansion and restoration activities... As you can see, we measure results in MILES not YEARS. Your support is critical to our continued success... And look for some exciting news to come from CMRR in 2011!
