Among the enduring purposes and goals envisioned for the CRC are the operation of a recreational rail ride, education of the public as to the historical significance of the Catskill Mountain Branch Railroad Line, providing recreational and park facilities, development and improvement of commerce, industry, and tourism, and promoting the general welfare of the communities served.
