Cooperstown & Charlotte Valley Railroad

About

The Cooperstown & Charlotte Valley Railroad lets visitors ride into history. Its line was built in 1869, and a trip aboard the train is a chance to experience rail travel, once the primary form of transportation across the country, while taking in the scenery of the Otsego County countryside.

Special rides run throughout the year, including the Easter Bunny Express, dinner trains, the Blues Express, train robberies, a Halloween special and Christmas trains. Group rides are available too. Because the schedule changes by season, it is worth checking dates before planning a visit.
