Overview
Rip Van Winkle Railroads by William F. Helmer
It was the most romantic era in Catskill Mountain history-the days of travel by rail and steam, when passenger riverboats plied the Hudson and glittering grand hotels crested the mountain peaks. Rip Van Winkle Railroads gives the history of the narrow gauge railroads-the Canajoharie & Catskill Railroad, the Catskill Mountain Railway, the Catskill & Tannersville Railway, and the Otis Elevating Railway-that steamed through the northeastern Catskill Mountains during the nineteenth-century heyday of the grand hotels of the Kaaterskill area-the Catskill Mountain House, Hotel Kaaterskill, and the Laurel House-as well as the many smaller hotels and boarding houses like the Palenville Hotel, the Antlers Hotel, the Haines Falls House, and the Hollenbeck Hotel.
