Description

As the Adirondack Railroad, we have been in business since 1992. With hundreds of volunteers contributing time and resources, we are a not-for-profit organization that operates an excursion railroad that has provided memories for more than 1.84 million passengers to date.

Our mission is to promote, participate in, and develop multiple uses of rail transportation corridors for recreational purposes that support economic development and the tourism economy in the Adirondack Region and Central New York area.

Our refurbished fleet of railcars and locomotives serve communities from our headquarters in Utica to communities far into the Adirondack Park. Trains include:

Family outings on our Fall Foliage trains in the Fall.

Special occasion trains for Valentine’s Day, and Mother’s Day and more.

Beer and Wine Trains featuring quality live entertainment.

The Polar Express holiday experience and other Family Trains

Plus, regular excursions that our volunteers and staff work hard to make memorable.

Why not try our railbikes, your front seat to nature? You can pedal our bikes along the rails in Old Forge and in Tupper Lake from Memorial Day to October, seeing some of the most spectacular scenery in the northeast U.S. It’s great fun for friends and family.

We also offer a wide range of charters for groups, large and small. From business meetings aboard the business car once used by the President of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, to a charter in our glass top dome car, this can be an elegant way to appreciate valued colleagues and travel through the splendid scenery in the Adirondacks. Our customer service staff will be pleased to help you make the arrangements.

For the Utica Chamber Business After Hours on Wednesday, April 19, please join us onboard a stationary train at Utica’s Union Station, Platform 1.  Please note, we'll be capping attendance at 125 persons.
