Passenger Trains > The Adirondacks, By Rail!!

It was a fine day for railfanning yesterday here in Upstate NY.

My intention was simply to video Adirondack Scenic's Utica-Thendara run. I did so and here's a short (2:30) video. I especially like the scenes where the train is approaching an old milepost, H34. H is for Herkimer, the long-ago southern terminus of this line. The mileposts still read "H" though, all the way to "H58" in Thendara.

Anyhow, upon my return, before heading home I stopped to get a small ice cream cone. A short while later, I then noticed a few railcars parked on the NYS&W's Utica branch ( http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?2,3807769 ). So, quite unexpectedly, I spent a few hours chasing them.

Running across the unexpected: I'm sure all of you have experienced something similar when checking out the rail scene.

The #1835 sure deserves the title 'honorary steam locomotive'.

Caught the motorcars crossing French Road by Chanatry's on Saturday -- heading east on the old West Shore main, now a Susquehanna Industrial spur that connects to the old New York, Ontario, and Western Utica main which is part of that same spur.

Thanks for sharing!!!

Really nice video, thanks for posting.
