For the last time, the Delaware & Hudson's overnight Montreal Limited out of New York approaches the station at Rouses Point, NY, as an employee watches. It was the first morning of Amtrak and this train was one of the many discontinued at Amtrak's startup, its handsome Alco PA power notwithstanding.
The Adirondack follows both the Hudson and the Lake Champlain shoreline on its leisurely trip between New York and Montreal. When it started, it was pulled by beautiful ALCO PAs purchased by Delaware & Hudson second-hand from the Santa Fe.
