The first passenger train to Tupper Lake in over 40 years arrived today to much fanfare and large crowds. New York State has spent millions of dollars refurbishing miles of track so trains can once again carry passengers through the heart of the Adirondack Wilderness on this historic rail line. Alco C425 2400 also made her first trip sporting brand new paint and a new corporate scheme. Here they prepare to depart the station on the return trip to Thendara.
New York state has the largest number of ALCO diesel locomotives working in everyday service. Here are some of them. Soon I hope to chronicle all of them.
