We're doing our best to stop oil imports by returning to
STEAM!!!
With more than six
years of restoration
work behind us,
American Locomotive
Company (ALCo) 2-8-0
#18 returns to active
service...
MAY 24TH, 2008
Our passenger excursions are also powered by one of our two World War II era diesel-electric locomotives,which are also used weekly in our freight operations. Both engines were built by General Electric at their locomotive facility in Erie, PA. The 44-ton centercab No111 was built in 1947 and delivered new to the Arcade & Attica Railroad. No112 was built in 1945 and delivered to the United States Navy. The A&A purchased the engine from the City of Colorado Springs Railroad in 1988 to supplement the ailing engine No111. Today, No111 has been returned to full operation.
We're Ready .......
- Come Ride With Us -

Nice new website!! I currently live on Perry Rd in North Java. I have been a life long fan of the A&A and plan on riding on the first trip for #18. I have many memories of the railroad and hope for many more with my son.

I haven\'t ridden your train yet, but it is one of the things I plan to do this year. I come from a railroad family, father & brothers all worked for NYCRR. Brothers still work for Conrail.

I love riding the railroad at any time of year. Civil War Days in '06 was the last time I rode as a simple passenger.
I look forward to hearing the whistle again in May!

As a native of Corfu, NY growing up in the 60s and 70s, my father took us every year to ride the excursions behind either No. 14 or 18. I now reside outside Nashville, Tennessee and I take my sons nearly each year. I have followed the railroad for a long time and am glad to see investment in restoring their equipment and structures. I also am excited about the return of No. 18! Keep up the good work and I look forward to riding in 2008!

As a native of Yorkshire, my wife and I were back in the area for a family function. So, of course we had to ride the train! We had a great time and I spent some time talking to Mr. Eric talking about the A & A history and catching up with other local matters (his daughter and I went to Pioneer together).
We're looking forward to the new season with #18 back at the lead and hopefully we'll be able to get back for a trip or two. We currently reside near Cincinnati, OH.
