Passenger Trains > "Black Flies & Adirondack Rails"Date: 09/13/21 06:27 "Black Flies & Adirondack Rails" Author: ut-1 My dog Witold (vee-told) and I followed Adirondack Railroad's Utica-Thendara NY run on Saturday, Sept. 11th, first catching No. 1835 leading its train over New York State Rt 12 in Barneveld, 16 miles north of Utica.
We next were 23 miles farther north in Forestport in close (too close) company of a few hundred black flies. Here, the train appears to be traveling at or near the line's top speed of 50 mph. After leaving my "friends" behind, I stopped to take some video of a nicely restored historical marker. The final scenes are in Thendara. You must be a registered subscriber to watch videos.
