Catskill Mountain Railroad coaches finally move

We are back at the Route 209 crossing along the Hurley Flats in Hurley, where we finally get to see movement of the two coaches that have been sitting on the east side of the crossing for the past 15 or so years. The two coaches in question are 6 axle heavyweight diner Lion Gardiner (formerly New York Central 519) and an old DL&W "Edison" MU. On the west side of Route 209 are two more MU's, as well as a hopper car and a gondola. Those cars have been sitting there just as long. The fact that these two cars are moved now means that progress can be made to cross Route 209 and continue on through Hurley, up Hurley Mountain, and eventually, reach Ashokan Reservoir. This is a proud moment for the CMRR. The good people there have worked extremely hard to achieve this milestone, which included restoring C9 Bridge, which is an old truss bridge over Esopus Creek, as well as laying and spiking new ties to reach these coaches. If you are in the Kingston area or are able to come up to Kingston, please do so. The good people at the CMRR are always looking for a few good volunteers. It is definitely a worthy cause.

Enjoy the sight of these two old cars moving for the first time in over 15 years, as well as the chug of ALCO RS1 401, and the cheers from the people who have worked so hard to make this day happen.
