Album Info:The Adirondack Scenic Railroad celebrated its 20th Anniversary this weekend with a big railfan event in Thendara/Old Forge, NY. They had a railroad simulator, visiting equipment, and the nicest bunch of people from the Alco Historical Society on hand as well as locomotive cab tours, engine tours, photo sessions, and tons of other great railfan events. The day began with a 2-hour train ride from Utica Union Station north to Thendara. Various events were held throughout the day, then a 2-hour ride back to Utica. A spectacular and very well-run event made for a great Labor Day weekend!

Alcos and EMDs
Title:  Alcos and EMDs
Description:  Adirondack has a very unique power mix, including an Alco RS3, an EMD switcher, and these 4 fine engines. *UPDATE* In 2015, the 1502 was repainted to match the 1835 & 1845. She looks great and is still running strong.
