Farewell (For Now) Hudson River Rail Excursions
Author: RuleG

Due to the work in the East River Tunnels, the United Railroad Historical Society will be offering only a limited number of excursions in 2025 with its ex-New York Central Hickory Creek, Tavern-Lounge 43, and Swift Stream cars.  The trips run from the Moynihan Train Hall to the Albany-Rensselaer station and return.

Tickets go on sale Wednesday, January 29 at 10:00 am.  As these trips sell out quickly, don't wait to purchase tickets if you are interested.

Last year in November, my significant other and I rode in 43.  She very much enjoyed the ride, as did I.

Here is a link to the website where you get further information and purchase tickets.

Hudson River Rail added a second car,  Pacific Island,  a Budd built car that begam life with the Union Pacific.  I had a double bedroom in that car but spent my waking hours in Hickory Creek.
