| Post subject: | Arcade & Attica Single Steam Trip Schedule |
While planning a trip to New York, I noticed that the Arcade and Attica runs one steam trip a day, 2 hours roundtrip, and then puts a diesel on the second trip. Do they really save any money? I believe the engine is spending more time in hostling and preparation than it is actually in service on any day. |

Last year it was steam for both runs... never the less, it's an awesome tourist line whether chasing or riding. With all the effort to get back in steam, I sure hope it pays off and the best way to assure that is have a visit and spread the word. Looks like a few double headers are scheduled along with a few unique events throughout the year. The location is close to other major attractions such as Letchworth Park (with the trestle over one of several waterfalls which actually crosses over a former PRR line in a setting you'd swear was out of the Durango Narrow Guage). Niagara Falls is not all that far and I believe a certain PRR 2-10-0 #4483 steam engine is within an easy drive as well (Hamburg, NY). http://www.arcadeandatticarr.com/ Maybe someone can get them to switch the diesel run to noon and have the steam run in better light? /Mitch |
