CMRR Holiday Train Donates to Local Food Bank











































The Catskill Mountain Railroad holiday train in Kingston was a great success despite the challenging weather conditions on several of the weekends it was in operation. On the last day of this year's holiday schedule, half of every ticket sold was donated to the Queens Galley which operates a soup kitchen in Kingston. The last photo above is of the volunteers of the CMRR presenting a check to the Queens galley folks. I thought that the WCA members who leave the valley for the winter but volunteer for the CMRR and the ESRM when they are here in the summer (you know who you are), would enjoy seeing how the railroad is helping out in the community during their absence.
