Company to bring
'riding the rails' experience
to Otsego 
A company offering a new tourism travel experience announced Thursday, April 29, that it will be opening a Cooperstown-adjacent version of its services.
Rail Explorers, featuring custom built pedal-powered rail bikes, will begin operation in their fourth location, in the village of Milford, on Saturday, May 29. Other locations are in Phoenicia, in Las Vegas and in Rhode Island, with another new location opening in Sante Fe, New Mexico, this year.
The Rail Explorers Cooperstown Division features tours along the historic Cooperstown & Charlotte Valley Railroad which follows the Susquehanna River. Rail Explorers Cooperstown is hosted by the Cooperstown & Charlotte Valley Railroad and is based in the restored Milford Depot.
“We are excited about starting an operation in Cooperstown and becoming part of the community,” Rail Explorers CEO Mary Joy Lu said in a media release. “The Cooperstown tour offers great views the Susquehanna River and the surrounding farmland, and the 12-mile round trip will be Rail Explorers longest tour offered to date. Many of our followers can't wait to try this tour.”
