They r all so teeny! Watching them set off brought a smile 2 our faces. Marvelous.

Very well done and enjoyable. There are some many things that take up our time. Time wasted that can’t never be replaced. This video however was a pleasure to spend time viewing. As winter sets in upstate NY it makes me long for spring already. It is a terrible shame that they can’t will not figure out how to put trails beside old railroads instead of ripping them up. I guess the environmentalist with bicycles and running shoes have the squeakier wheel in Albany.

what great memories! I love the map views and captions. thanks! Jon and Priscilla

I've got to say, "this was fun to watch." Thanks.

Used to travel that route up to Old Forge (by car was a salesman) in the 1970s and remember a restaurant in Forestport that served giant stakes. Name escapes me, someone may know.

I've never heard what the power source of these rail motor cars is and their distance of travel.

35:45 really nice to see these old stations and the "world" around them !

Good video. Thnx for sending.

Too bad you play music over the voice and train. otherwise pretty good

I am 76 and grew up near Syracuse and have been all over the country. I think the Adirondacks are the most beautiful part of the country. I have taken the Adirondack Scenic train a few times. I also enjoy riding a bicycle but to me it is a shame to tear up rails instead of being able to enjoy a bebeautiful ride from Utica to the Canadian border. You can build bicycle trails but they will never rebuild these rails.

Is it possible to get involved without owning a car

Rather hear the railcars than music, otherwise great presentation.

Ultra hight quality video. I am from Québec and i would love to do this ride.

This is very cool. I owned a cabin and property until 2018 that abutted this railroad 1 mile north of Forestport Station. I never rode the railroad, but this makes me wish that I had. Excellent production!

It was a very nice work, congratulations, but I really liked the train ticket image at the beginning of the video, can I learn the names of the fonts in that image, very nice fonts indeed, I would be very pleased if you answer. I will be waiting for your similar works.

Thank you fo this outstanding video. I have never ridden the rails above Thendara and often wondered what was up there.

What a wonderful -- and colorful! -- trip through history! I felt like the world's luckiest time traveler, getting to go back and forth between now and "the Land of Ago," as Stephen King calls the past in his book '11/22/63.' Thanks so much for sharing this amazing video with all of us! I loved it!

Just an outstanding video. Great history with supporting vintage photos. Love the maps showing your progress!

From India. First time saw this video without fast forward. 1. All the carts are made for rain or shine. 2. Photos of the stations and information was really enjoyable. 3. Trees with multi color looked beautiful. Good location for picture post card - a forgotten hobby of present generation. 4. A bit sad to see a train full of wooden logs. I am for preservation of trees. 5. Camera work is good. 6. Many bridges were seen. One or two shots from below the bridges are also welcome. 7. Take a group of engineering students and ask them to draw and analyses the construction of those bridges. 8. Show the present conditions of the stations. 9. I am seventy two years old from India. If someone could sponsor my travel expenses I would like to see all these places.

I would love to own one of these motorcars and ride the rails, seeing America from another view!!!

Can anyone please tell me if these rail Cars can be rented? Thank you

beautiful account of the way it used to be.

oh , what a wonderfully awesome video ! ❤ well-made and thoroughly enjoyable ... We like the History and the old photos 😊

Thank you this was my first rail car video. well made thanks again.

A wonderfully produced and presented video of what appears to be quite an adventure! Thanks for sharing it with everyone - you've got me interested in this hobby now. - Ed on the Ridge

Hmmm, I was born in Tupper Lake, 1960. We moved to Los Angeles in 1965 and I've never been back home. It was on my bucket list... But, I doubt I'll ever get back to pay respect to my Dad at his grave. Last time I saw him was when Mom left him in 1965. Oh well, rest in peace Dad, I'll see ya on the other side.

What a wonderfully produced and presented video! Chock full of reference information - and the view! My Lord.... Thank you for sharing this with the world (and rekindling my interest in those little "rail speeders", too 🙂). - Ed on the Ridge

So cool. I live near Balsam, NC and their claim to fame is that until the station was demolished, it was the highest railroad station in the Eastern US (3,304'). Topton NC, which is on the GSMR line, is 2,654', but again, no more operable station there. Dillsboro, NC is 2,060', and is still served by the GSMR...they might have 26' on you!

Where do u book this ?????

Is this only for employees or can anyone book a ticket? I am in absolute amazement! I want to go!!!!

Amazing video! Scenery was spectacular! I love the fact that these vehicles have been restored. Historical information in the video compliments the beauty. Thanks.

How do I become member?

😎💯✌this is so cool I want one ....

I never knew these motorcars existed in America.

Sorry for not getting back sooner... if it wasnt for your ❤ as a reminder, I would've flaked. It was wonderful seeing the section I rode on my own creation, an attachment, that I made for a standard bicycle, an outrigger, and a guide to keep the front bicycle wheel centered on the rail. I spent many years perfecting it in Bethlehem, PA. Since the bicycle steers itself, I rode no-hands most of the way.... it was like flying... slowly... the ride taking 5 hours. I think I made good time... Speed wasn't my goal... but I was in good shape... not so much now. The attachment was encouraged by the guy who designed the 4 wheel railbikes I see parked on sidings... he had a bicycle guide wheel he designed, and wanted me to make it work. Try as I may, I couldn't, until I modified it, driven by the many failures of his design. I did a bit of lathe work, a few more failures, then finally, I got it working well. It wasn't perfect, but I made it up and back with only one derailment. The rails near where I live have hazards the Adirondack Railway doesn't. I got derailed way too often around here. At speed, it proved humiliating, and occassionally, painful. The last rerailment mase me so angry, I dismantled the whole device... back to square one. I've a whole new design on the drawimg board... totally all mine... I'm 73 now. My ride was 23 years ago... You didn't catch my friend's wife. They live along the tracks, above Lake Lila, and Tupper... no highlights of interest for the film maker. Oh well... They're good people... but not particularly railroad nerds. I got an interest in doing this because I was a bicycle nerd, working for Bicycling Magazine... my dad, was the rail fan... I grew up with his train obsession. I'm also a metal worker/mechanic/fixer/maker. Have a nice workshop.

This might be the coolest thing I've ever seen

I rode my railbike (pedal powered) from Big Moose to just below Tupper Lake. It was an experience of a lifetime... gorgeous. I ended up at a friend's place, right along the rails... I know his wife filmed this excursion going by... Now, I'll watch... maybe you caught her in this footage.

Good old day in America.😂

Is their any way the public can join this if we don't have our own railcars. I live in NYC and love trains. Is it possible to join the next excursion?

On my You tube channel [century new technologies company inc ] I found out where the 1840 wooden rail went to Clifton Iron works which is near new york state { the owners did not sell the property] Tooly pond easement

such a nice video thank you im from montreal but a did spend many vacation in tupper lake i had a lots of uncle that had business in tupper lake

I was born and raised in the Adirondacks and had not seen some of thes places. Thank you!

Hermoso video y lugares espectaculares y el recorrido muy lindo. Saludos de Argentina.

Really enjoyed the history and narration! Such a cool way to get around!!!

Guessing this would be a crazy fun railbike ride! And wouldn't it be cool if someone got street-level images with Mapillary, KartaView or Mapilio apps on a smartphone - for crowdsourced OpenStreetMap edits (and, by extension, OpenRailwayMap)

Hey, beautiful sceneries. Cannot resist to comment that the horizon is as flat as we can see.

Now that is something that appeals to me! But my financial situation is very tight right now.

I was expecting to find out about the rail cars, because I'm not familiar with them.

Is this private or public ride.?
