If there's one thing that it seems we can all agree on, it's that there's nothing quite like discovering a nostalgic attraction or piece of history that takes us back to another time. While we love to have an unforgettable experience on one of New York's epic train rides, there's one railroad in particular that you should absolutely check out during our state's leaf peeping season. You can enjoy a stunning fall train ride in New York when you ride along the Arcade and Attica Railroad!
Located out in Western New York, you won't have a hard time finding the Arcade & Attica Railroad!
Sometimes magical pieces of history like this can go unnoticed, but we assure you that this bright orange railroad station is not hard to miss.
Right on the street you'll be greeted by the vibrant building, where you can step inside to get a taste of the history of our country's railroads!
This eye-catching building is where you'll also find the authentic ticket office, where you can buy your ticket from an actual ticket master. I'm already feeling like I'm in another era!
While we love to take a trip on this train anytime of the year, it's during New York's peak foliage season that you can experience some of the most unforgettable views.
After you buy your train ticket, you'll wait for the train's whistle to blow and you'll finally know when it's time to hop on board.
Throughout the month of October, Arcade & Attica features Fall Foliage rides that last two hours and twenty minutes, and at the halfway point, you can tour Curriers Station Antique Train Depot.
For the majority of your ride on the Arcade & Attica Railroad, you'll travel through farmland, open fields and beautiful countryside.
Most of the area that you'll have views of on this ride features land that has gone untouched since the late 1800s.
As soon as you step inside the train, you'll be taken back in time. The trains feature the kind of vintage seats you would hope for when taking a trip on a beautiful railway like this.
The train has picturesque windows for you to look out on your ride, where you'll be amazed by all of the beauty that surrounds you!
Below, you can see another feature of the train. The seats inside of the cars can switch which direction they're facing!
Keep an eye on the Arcade and Attica's schedule to plan your trip for peak leaf-peeping. It's a great fall day trip destination.
Take a look at the schedule and mark the dates on your calendar, because this is one fall train ride in New York that you certainly don't want to miss.
You'll find the departure times and ticketing information listed on their website, here.
