Whether or not it feels like it outside, the spring season has officially arrived in good old Buffalo. While we may not be entirely prepared to put our shovels and sleds away, it is that time of year again when we can begin planning for day trips and weekend adventures in and around the Queen City once the warm weather arrives. Today, we’re headed just beyond the City of Buffalo for a scenic railroad featuring all the best parts of springtime in Western New York.
Some of the most scenic train rides in our region are aboard the Arcade & Attica Railroad.
