GEs, Baldwins, and Cabooses |
| Description: |
Bringing up the rear of Viscose Company 0-4-0 switcher No. 6s train, just north of the C9 Bridge, is Catskill Mountain Railroad Caboose #675 and GE 45 Ton switcher #42. The purpose of the 45 Ton switcher is to provide power for the train if the steam locomotive breaks down or runs out of steam, which it did shortly after this photo was taken. |

CMRR #1 "The Duck" |

CMRR #29 "The Goat" |
| Description: |
Catskill Mountain Railroad Porter 45 Ton switcher #29 known as "The Goat" sits on the Mt. Pleasant Rip Track, situated in woods nestled between Mt. Pleasant and the Esopus River. The shiny rails in the weeds on the right is, believe it or not, the Catskill Mountain Railroads mainline, which took significant damage during Hurricane Irene, after the storm, the line speed limit was reduced from 25mph to 10mph (less in some areas) and completely shut down the line west of Phoenicia. |

CMRR Extra #407 East and Tremper Mountain |
| Description: |
As the wind blows the orange and red leaves of oak trees high on Tremper Mountain, Catskill Mountain Railroad ALCo #407 is making its way along Route 28 in Mt. Tremper, New York with one of the railroads Fall Foliage Extras. Due to the extra passengers (so many that people were beginning to park on the roads), the railroad had to use a new open air car that wasnt fully restored yet to accommodate the extra passengers, and I think some still couldnt get seats on the train. I was quite lucky to still have so many leaves on the trees here, as the wind had ripped every remaining leaf off the trees at my house, but it seemed their color was slightly behind here and had managed to hold on, even with the 60mph winds we had the night before. |

CMRR #42s Fresh Coat of Paint |
| Description: |
After giving up with photographing the Fall Foliage Trains between Boiceville and Phoenicia, I headed to Kingston, where I found the previously awful looking, bright orange GE 45 Ton Switcher #42 coupled to several ex-NYC coaches, though I didnt recognize the locomotive at first. Because one of the Catskill Mountain Railroads hard working volunteers was busy hand painting the locomotive with can of Cabots paint, though this paint will probably ware off in a few years time, it looks quite nice, at least compared to the former paint of this locomotive. |

On May 27th 2017, the Catskill Mountain Railroad began running their regularly scheduled Summer trains by starting the operation of a new Kingston-based passenger train known as the Catskill Mountain Flyer. New York Central and their famed "Lightning Stripes" almost appear to still be riding the rails of the former NYC Catskill Mountain Branch as the Catskill Mountain Railroads #401, an ex-Green Mountain Railroad ALCo-GE RS-1, rolls to a stop with the Catskill Mountain Flyer at the Route 209 Crossing on the Hurley Flats to allow the crossing to be flagged before proceeding west up Hurley Mountain. |
