On Sunday, April 29, 2007, the New York Central System is sponsoring a rare-mileage 80-mile round trip

Did I read that right? Is some kind of twilight-zone time travel going on upstate?

No time warp. It is the NYCSHS. Actually the trip is closer to 90 miles round trip. I believe GVT owns 46 miles between Lockport and Brockport. This trip usually takes about 6 hours with a stop over in Medina at the Museum.

I beleive that this excursion will have the appearance of the return of the Empire State Express.

All former NYC equipment. The five WNYRHS NYC coaches and the new MRRM NYC E-8s #4068 and #4080.

The Dagny Taggart(ex NYC Singing Brook) will be on this train too. Dagny will operate as a private charter but the general public can buy coach tickets for the trip. Fare is $45. Includes box lunch and drink. NYCSHS Convention Trip, 160 parkledge, Amherst NY 14226
