adirondack scenic railroad

Here's a list of great things to do and see in New York State this year!

The Adirondack Scenic Railroad recently announced the donation of a locomotive engine that once was used in passenger Service on the New York Central line.

A long simmering debate in the Adirondack Park concerns whether or not to tear up a section of rails to accommodate recreational trails. Little compromise is to be found in the North County, but that wasn't the case recently in Syracuse.

It is always lots of fun to take a ride aboard The Adirondack Scenic Railroad. However this time of year is a little bit better with the leaves changing.

This weekend my adventures took me on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad for an event with the CATALYST group (and the Greater Utica Chamber).

The tiny hamlet of Beaver River, located north of Old Forge in the Herkimer County town of Webb, is likely the most remote community in the Adirondack Park. Thanks to a new proposal from New York State, this home of just eight year-round residents could become easier to reach.

See a part of the scenic Adirondacks as never seen before. Take a ride on a portion of the Adirondack railroad, closed to the public for 35 years, on rail bikes. For the first time in the USA, Rail Explorers are bringing the pedal powered railbikes to the six miles of historic railroad between Saranac Lake and Lake Clear.

The City of Utica and the Adirondack Scenic Railroad is proud to welcome Thomas the Tank Engine to town for the weekends of June 19th-21st and June 26th-28th. One thing that is needed to make this event a success is local volunteers!

PBS produced a fascinating documentary about the Adirondack Scenic Railroad and you can watch it right here!

The Utica-based Adirondack Scenic Railroad will be featured on an episode of the PBS series Great Scenic Railway Journeys.

Create magic and memories right here in Central New York!

There are Easter events all over the Mohawk Valley every year, some of which come and go, but there are three mainstays that are always a huge hit among the Utica public year after year, and if you manage your time right, you just may be able to attend them all
