Service To Re-Start In 2025. Dormant since the end of the 2019 season with few substantive updates, the Delaware & Ulster Railroad announced on their Facebook page on the morning of Saturday, April 19, 2025 that service will begin on May 17, 2025. "This week the Delaware & Ulster Railroad announced its long awaited 2025 reopening. The beloved tourist railroad based in the hamlet of Arkville, which has been closed and under construction extensively since the COVID pandemic derailed the 2020 season, will begin offering train rides to the public again this spring. According to Catskill Revitalization Corporation Executive Director Todd Pascarella, there will be much about the railroad that is familiar to people who remember what was offered by the DURR years ago, as well as several new updates and changes." In the modern era, trains have only operated from the railroad's yard and station in Arkville, New York to Roxbury, New York, where former Delaware & Hudson RS36 5017 is seen on the afternoon of October 23, 2016. But the announcement asserts that ".... for the first time in 25 years riders will be traveling east from Arkville towards Fleischmanns and eventually to Highmount.” Check out the links for more info and tickets.
