Locations and Stations

Nestled in the southwest corner of the Town of Arcade, Wyoming County, New York and bordered on the west and south by the counties of Erie and Cattaraugus, encompassed by beautiful hills and valleys. Along with our 2026 residents (as of the 2000 census), we take particular pride in our efforts to preserve a small-town community atmosphere. Arcade has much to offer businesses, residents, and visitors. The village operates its own Department of Public Works, Water, Sewer, Municipal Electric, Police Department, Municipal Court, and Fire Department. The principal station of the Arcade and Attica Railroad is located in the village at the junction of NYS Route 39 and NYS Route 98. Sit back and enjoy some of Wyoming County's charming countryside on a two hour excursion to the Curriers Depot, powered by its steam engine. We hope you will enjoy everything our Village has to offer, and will in turn contribute to its texture and well-being. We look forward to seeing you at our many community gatherings.

Village of Arcade, New York

he Curriers depot, built 1886, is a typical wood frame country station. Similar to many Erie railroad structures, the station remains in remarkably good condition, very close to its original appearance. The picturesque location at the Chaffee Road crossing retains a branchline charm to it, from the traditional crossbucks to the hand thrown switches on the run around track at the depot. Nearby farm houses and barns complete the throwback in time. A & A's passenger excursions have been a fixture of railroading for two generations of little boys and their fathers. Steam has been a fixture of the summer excursions starting in 1963. The coaches too are unique, 1915 vintage cars, having come off of the Delaware, Lackawanna, & Western.
