There is something really wonderful about the explosion of color throughout Upstate New York as the leaves change color. There's also something wonderful about taking a ride on a local train through the mountains around the Capital Region. Put those two things together and you've got a perfect fall experience.
Your kids and even grandkids will think you are "eggcellent" when you take your Easter celebrations up a notch with the Easter Bunny Express in Kingston or Utica. It actually looks like a lot of fun for the family as you get on a decorated train with the Easter Bunny and ride the rails.
I grew up with train tracks in front and in my backyard. It was always a concern of ours that those cargo trains carrying fuel may tip and spill. Well, there was one that happened recently in the Capital Region.
Four cars of a train that was carrying crude oil in Albany derailed on Monday afternoon, and the incident was not reported to the New York State Department Of Transportation until almost five hours later.
We are lucky to live in the Albany area with so many great attractions for every season. As people prepare to make their plans for Summer 2012, we'd like to suggest taking an Adirondack train ride.
