"Adirondack RR's Big Train"

[@lisabishop6266]

The inside of this station is beautiful!!! I need a cushion to sit on the benches, but I love it there. Plus they have a great farmers market once a week.

[@dannyparrack6848]

It's good to see the Adirondack acquire some nice cars. I had a great time working with the railroad in 2010 and 2011.

Rail trails are the bane of the nation. Especially where they rip up used track to make a fricken trail.

[@tonyfrancesco3701]

There is something serious wrong with this nation. We should demand separate rails for passengers. We are not product , and that’s how we are treated. In the 50s and into the early 60s there was four line mains

Greate video from Okeechobee Florida. Too bad it was such a rainy gloomy day for such an excursion.

[@valeriebassett3107]

Really great video. Your friends seem like they are characters, fun characters, the kind to keep. Thank you and your friends for this wonderful video.

[@railroadingrambler218]

8255 is waiting for some repairs. we planned on running it this year but no man power to do it due to the work trains. it ran on 3 trains in August 2017 and has not pulled a train since. it and 1508 need some fine tuning before they get back into service.

I was surprised to learn that there was never any food service offered to riders from Utica to Placid. I Throughly enjoy your videos. Thank you

[@railroadingrambler218]

I was surprised as well, thanks for commenting!

[@mikehudsonrocks9585]

Outstanding! Thanks so much for this video. 👍🏼

Thanks for your feedback!

During 92-96 I rode on that car on the Lake Shore Limited when I worked on that train from BOS as an LSA. It never made it to Boston , it was too tall for the Muddy River bridge. Nice to see it is still around..I worked BOS-CHI over the years.

[@railroadingrambler218]

Very interesting, thanks for your comment!

Pretty cool railroad in the state of New York.

[@nhspartan123ify]

What happened to 8223?

[@AndreiTupolev]

Well there definitely seems a shortage of containers on that alleged doublestack @1:50. Hardly needed a DPU.

[@jimdep6542]

A very sad sight ! Those old signals should be at least kept in storage to keep them from rusting out ! They aren't cheap either.

[@carlyeiter9263]

Was that a kite flying in front of engine at 4:08

[@tonyfrancesco3701]

I always have a four hour layover there just to get to Amsterdam

[@northjerseyrailroadproduct2770]

I wonder if those crossing signals and bungalows can be aquired either given away or sold/ auctioned off...?

[@richardvonhagn5019]

Is there a plan to replace the track from Tupper Lake to Lake Placid

[@railroadingrambler218]

No, a trail is going in.

[@goodeye03]

BTW we did 80 on the Lake Shore

[@vicnis625]

20:44 yes it indeed has been used on. The andirondack rr I have a fridge magnet of 8225 as he leas and only engine at the minehana crossing, and jay winn also capture it running with a steam susqenahana train:kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZyZf5qQnKt1h7s

What a great video I know one of those guys you traveled with from way back.. AG... I do not know your actual name and I want to contact you.. give me a shout..

[@dalejanes8122]

Do you know why the Adirondack RR is using MA&N motive power on it's trains?

[@railroadingrambler218]

They have two RS18u’s, 1835 & 1845. One had been used on work trains, the other for Otter Lake local. When I arrived in Thendara on the 16th, one was down for an inspection. They have two F10s: 1508 not used this year, 1502 has been but sparingly. So, there was a power shortage and MA&N helped out.

[@dalejanes8122]

@@railroadingrambler218 Thank you for the clarification and the quick response. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@robk1310]

Why is October 17th the last run for the year? A thanksgiving trip would be a lot of fun.

[@railroadingrambler218]

They will run Polar Express trains from Utica-Holland Patent (24 miles r/t) in Nov & Dec. For a few years, a Christmas train was run to Thendara one weekend in December, nothing scheduled for that this year as far as I know.

[@lisabishop6266]

@@railroadingrambler218 omg, all those kids and parents in matching PJ's waiting for the polar express is way too funny!

My love of Alco's has shown no sign of abating, and to date there is no vaccine.

Its really too bad that railroad does'nt go into Tupper, They need that.. would be such a positive thing.
