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 returned 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 -
"OLD #18 RETURNED TO SERVICE - MAY 24TH MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!! .

I rode the Arcade and Attica express with my mother's class in 1978! I still remember it to this day! Now I can't wait to take my son on this trip. If anyone has tickets to the Dec 19th North Pole excursion and wants to get rid of them (I'll buy them!), email me at feeleyp@bsd.k12.pa.us

Way back around 1973, may be, June, we took our 2 sons,about 8 & 10 years old, on your Train Ride the kids loved it as well as we did also.
Now I am thinking about may be bringing a Senior Adult Group, for a "Step Back in History " Train Ride. Your Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The date probably isn't correct, we rode the train at least once a year when I was a kid and it was always one of the highlights of my summer. Riding the A&A can't be beat as a great family activity!
