Step back in time as you trace the route from Phoenicia to the Hunter Branch and Tannersville Branch toward Hotel Kaaterskill, with a track plan and historic photographs illustrating the junction and its sidings. Along the way, see the remaining rail ties, visit the Light Dam Bridge over the Schoharie Creek, and enjoy a side excursion to the new Hunter Branch Rail Trail pedestrian bridge.
