Foliage train ride sponsored by Lyons Elks
Each train will travel south to Watkins Glen at the south end of Seneca Lake on a two-hour ride. The trains will leave Himrod at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday. Please plan on arriving at least 20 minutes prior to departure. Each excursion will be composed of an engine and two passenger cars with seating for approximately 140 passengers each trip. Riders will be able to have a unique glimpse of nature including the rippling waters of Seneca Lake and cross over the historic Big Stream Bridge on a slow, picturesque and romantic journey winding through the countryside past wineries, farms and vineyards. Trains are not yet heated and they should dress appropriately for the season. Finger Lakes Railway has undertaken the restoration of two of its present four passengers cars, which are 1954 main line coaches formerly owned by the Canadian National Railroad. The passenger cars will have restroom facilities. Food and beverages will be available at the boarding location and in the passenger cars throughout the excursions. Finger Lakes Railway is an active component of a vibrant Finger Lakes economy and services many freight customers in the Finger Lakes area. Finger Lakes Railway is beginning special passenger excursions, such as the Fall Foliage tours to reacquaint the general public with the means of mass transportation that was so popular years ago. Tickets for the Excursion will be available by telephoning the Rick Wunder in Lyons at 946.4844 (8 to 5 and Friday 8 to noon), e-mail at or mail to Lyons Elks Lodge #89, P.O.
