Besides the local festivities this Sunday in Phoenicia and Mt Tremper (see previous post) the CMRR is also operating their Winter Holiday Train in Kingston. Below is information on that full filled holiday activity. It's another great opportunity to ride the train and see Santa. I still think that Santa Claus must have a close relative in Woodland Valley. What a resemblance!! Don't forget to join the railroad and the Empire State Railway Museum this Sunday for a their annual holiday celebration right here in town! The fun starts at noon. See you there.
ALL
ABOARD the Catskill Mountain Railroad’s 2012 Winter Holiday Train! The
Catskill Mountain Railroad (CMRR) is proud to announce the continuation of
Holiday Train service in Kingston, New York, for their twenty-ninth year of
operating trains in Ulster County. The CMRR,
having reestablished passenger service in Kingston in 2008, for the first time
since 1954, has been busy decorating the Train to provide you with, what is now
a Holiday Tradition for the whole family.
Holiday Train service will be on
Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm hourly starting December 1st through December 30th.
Come ride with Santa through December 23rd as he spreads cheer to
all the good little children of Kingston! Be sure to bring your camera! Take a
special train ride to celebrate the holidays and usher in the New Year. Tickets
will be available at the CMRR station, located in the Kingston Plaza ball field
parking lot near the Hannaford Supermarket - Adult fares are $6.00, Children
(ages 2-11) ride for $4.00, and children under 2 years-old ride free with a
paid adult fare.
Get into the
holiday spirit and enjoy a one-hour excursion through the historic City of
Kingston! The Holiday Train will depart from Westbrook Lane for a three-mile
round trip; heading West across Fair Street, Washington Avenue, to the old C9
Bridge, and then back again. Trains consist of
open-air seating as well as limited space inside our refurbished caboose. Please dress appropriately
and make sure to bundle up!
Have a toy train
set under your Christmas tree? Well why not bring the kids out to experience
the real thing. Get ready for the holidays with a visit from Santa Claus and a
train ride on the Catskill Mountain Railroad’s decorated Winter Holiday
Train.
