Central New York’s Finger Lakes Railway resumed its public excursion program on July 8, offering trips between Canandaigua and Clifton Springs, N.Y., using former RDC-1 AEAX 2012.

I was hoping they'd offer RDC service on the MEC Rockland Branch this summer (over which they currently contract with the state to operate freight service). They hinted at it earlier in the year, and even had an RDC on display at the Bath Heritage festival last week. I suppose there's still time, but one would think they would like to get the word out sooner than later.
