Explore the railroads of the Hudson River valley as it winds through some of the most beautiful scenery in the East! Hudson River Thunder covers both banks of the river: you'll see the Metro North and Amtrak Hudson passenger trains on the east bank, and CSX River Line freights on the opposite bank. Other railroading highlights include scenic Bear Mountain, the famous tunnels at Breakneck and Garrison, and serene Iona Island.
