ARCADE & ATTICA RAILROAD EXCURSION

We enjoyed a great day of "Fam Time" with my mom and didn't something we haven't done in many years - we took a ride on the Arcade and Attica Railroad in Arcade, New York.  When I was a boy we rode the train several times each summer.  I recall one special trip when the engineer (Manley Hakes) asked me if I wanted to ride back to Arcade from the Curriers station in the steam locomotive.  As a boy of about 12 years old, this was the chance of a lifetime and I will never forget that ride in the cab in the engine.
