From the Catskill Mountain News, Feb. 1926
ULSTER & DELAWARE SERVICE
RESTORED
Oneonta - Kingston Route to Have Two Trains Each Way
During Period Highways are Unsuitable for Traffic
The Ulster & Delaware railroad, running from Oneonta to
Kingston, Saturday announced that, effective this morning, the week
day train service, which was in effect until November 30, last,
would be restored because of the impassable condition of the roads.
This is to continue until further notice. The timetable provides
that first class passenger trains will leave Oneonta each week day
at 7:30 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. Trains are due to arrive week days at
11:50 a.m. and 6:40 p.m. It is felt that the Sunday traffic may be
served during this period by one round trip, no change from the
schedule which has been in effect for several months.
It will be remembered the the railroad company in its application
for the reduction in service contended that with the exception of a
very few days during the winter bus lines could accomodate local
service wherever necessary, and this voluntary restoration of
service when the highways are impassable is to be commended as an
evidence of good faith and an accomodation which will be widely
appreciated.
