The Arcade and Attica Railroad (reporting mark ARA) is a shortline railroad that hauls freight between Arcade and North Java, New York. The railroad originally connected Arcade with Attica; however, the right of way from North Java north to Attica was abandoned in 1957 due to flooding on the Tonawanda Creek.
The ARA's main business is handling agricultural products (e.g. soybeans, corn, and fertilizer), lumber, dairy feed, and other commodities between Arcade and North Java.
As of 2024, ARA now uses its newly acquired 1952 RS3m #114 to handle freight runs from Arcade, NY to Reisdorf Brothers feed mill in North Java, NY.
The ARA also runs passenger excursion trains from May to October on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Passengers can ride the 14-mile (23 km) round trip from Arcade to Curriers Station on restored 1920s-era Boonton passenger coaches as well as a covered gondola pulled by one of the vintage Centercab Diesels (#113, built in 1959, and #112, built-in 1945).
However once the railroad's Alco steam locomotive Arcade & Attica 18 returns from a full rebuild, the General Electric centercab locomotives will take a break from frequent service.
