We celebrate a somber anniversary today, as 50 years ago, service ended on the Ulster & Delaware Railroad with a final run by Conrail. Over the years, it would later become known as the Catskill Mountain Branch of the New York Central, and would be subsequently operated by Penn Central, and for the few months from April 1, 1976-September 28, 1976 by Conrail. Today, the Trolley Museum of New York shares this line with the Catskill Mountain Railroad Co., Rail Explorers USA, and the Delaware & Ulster Railroad. With so many rail attractions nearby, it's a great area to spend a day or a weekend!

Thank you to the Ulster County Clerk's Office for sharing these historic photos.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today to pay tribute, reflect, and visit our 9/11 PATH Car 143.

On this solemn anniversary, we are deeply grateful to all who took the time to come aboard, learn its story, and remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, as well as the countless first responders, families, survivors, and others whose lives were forever changed that day.

PATH Car 143 is much more than a piece of transportation history. As one of two railcars recovered from beneath the World Trade Center site, it stands as a powerful and tangible connection to the events of September 11, a place where visitors can pause, reflect, and remember.

It is an incredible honor for the Trolley Museum of New York to preserve and care for Car 143 and to ensure that its story continues to be shared with future generations.

To everyone who visited us today, thank you for helping us honor the past and keep the promise that we will never forget.

We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget.

Friday, September 11, 2026 — Remembering 25 Years

On September 11, 2001, our city, our nation, and the world were forever changed. As we mark the 25th anniversary, the Trolley Museum of New York invites the public to join us for a special day of remembrance and reflection.

The museum’s preserved World Trade Center PATH Car 143 is more than a historic railcar. It is a survivor—and a tangible connection to one of the darkest days in our nation’s history.

On the morning of September 11, Car 143 was part of a PATH train that arrived at the World Trade Center just before 9:00 a.m. The train was scheduled to return to New Jersey, but the attacks began before it could depart. The train remained in the terminal, empty, as the towers collapsed above it.

Of the seven cars that made up the train, five were destroyed. Only Car 143 and Car 745 survived, both sustaining significant damage.

Yet, amid the devastation, there was also a story of survival. Thanks to the rapid evacuation of the World Trade Center PATH station, no lives were lost aboard this train or within the PATH terminal.

Today, Car 143 still bears the damage it sustained that morning. It stands as a powerful symbol of survival and as a reminder of the lives that were saved that day, even as we remember the thousands of lives that were lost and the countless others forever changed.

For this solemn anniversary, PATH Car 143 will be opened to visitors from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m.

We invite you to take a moment to see this remarkable survivor, reflect on the events of September 11, and remember those who were lost, those who survived, and the courage shown by so many in the face of tragedy.

Admission is free.

Please note that the trolley is not scheduled to operate on Friday, September 11.

Twenty-five years have passed, but we remember.

We remember the lives.
We remember the loss.
We remember the courage.
We remember the survivors.
We will never forget.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Car 143 was part of a PATH train that arrived at the World Trade Center shortly before 9:00 a.m. Scheduled to return to New Jersey, the train was halted when the attacks began. It remained in the station, empty, as the towers collapsed above it.

Today, Car 143 serves as a powerful symbol of survival and a reminder of the lives that were saved that day.

We invite you to visit Car 143 on September 11, take a moment to remember those we lost, and reflect on the events of that day and the remarkable stories of survival.
