Posted October 17, 2018
Highmount, NY – Ulster County Executive Michael P. Hein today announced that Ulster County has granted a five year permit to the not-for-profit Delaware & Ulster Railroad (“D&U Railroad”) allowing the excursion railroad organization to re-establish tourism railroad operations in western Ulster County for the first time in nearly two decades. The Arkville-based D&U Railroad ended tourism passenger service to Highmount in 2001 to focus on operations between Arkville and Roxbury in Delaware County.
