- Correction: The approximate number of passengers was 200, not 400.
It's a beautiful fall day, and I'm exploring the New York Central Adirondack Divison from Childwold Station to Tupper Lake. I begin by sharing some of the history and mystery surrounding Childwold Station, with the help of Grasse River Railroad expert Andy Estep. We relocate to the site of the Piercefield depot to film Extra 2042 North, Adirondack Railroad's inaugural High Peaks Limited, a one-of-a-kind train running from Utica to Tupper Lake, the longest scenic ride in the east.
We relocate to the Tupper Lake Station, where I'm joined by Josh Wingler of @ChamplainValleyRailSnapshots. We watch the ADIX crew complete the runaround, discuss the future of the railroad's operations, and get a quick tour of the 2042 and the dome car before the departure.
We relocate once more to Childwold Station/Mount Arab Road to watch the train fly south, with RS18u 1845 leading long hood forward.
This marks the first time a Mohawk, Adirondack & Northern locomotive visited Tupper Lake.

It was an honor to have been Conductor on this first revenue Utica to Tupper Lake round trip train. Enjoyed watching your video. Nice job.
Thanks Bill! Looking forward to hopefully working with you this year as I work towards becoming a brakeman. Hope to see you in Springfield.
Trains are such a pivotal part of Adirondack history, thanks for sharing this with us!
Beautiful, very well shot. Autumn is the best time of year.
Beautiful scenic footage, thank you. Just subscribed.
Nice to see a train running to Tupper Lake. Five years ago, there was nothing there to see!
As someone who has visited the Tupper Lake station area every year since 2017, I can indeed confirm this is true.
They really move pretty quick for a tourist line.
Nice job narrating too.
Nice to see ex GBW 313 in the consist 👍!
We are enjoying it greatly
Beautiful video and catch. Have a nice rest of your evening.
As always, Awesome video! Beautiful fall foliage!
Thanks Steve, hopefully you can come up and visit the railroad sometime!
This is awasome i love this so much
Great looking engine Harrison sounds awesome
Wow, great job!
Awesome
Stunning Thumbnail!
Thank you!
Can't wait to see it!
Because no one found any errors, it’s actually the same as the “proofer” edition…
Another great video as always! I have absolutely no idea how are you are able to put out videos this long so often haha!
My layout has seen no progress in a long time 💀
@@NorthCountryTrains haha I can imagine!
Another great effort Harrison! I loved the opening music and the arial shot! I was going to ask when you got a drone but you explained it later, it's another guys drone. (I guess yours is coming some day?)
Looks like a good time was had by all, and thanks for bringing us along!
Thank you Wayne, drone will come once CZcams brings me enough funds...
@@NorthCountryTrains Ah, that will come with time. I'm looking forward to what you can do if and when you get one!
Great video! Why are three locomotives used?
Do you by chance know what became of the lake placid to saranac lake train?
The railroad tracks between Tupper Lake and Lake Placid got ripped up in 2020 and 2021.
Wow that’s very sad to hear but thank you for letting me know
@@Jman771 You're welcome.
Did you happen to miss all railwork that's been done over the last couple of years!?
I don't think you know a real train going by feels like....🙄
I drive across the northeast in search of “real trains”… had I been informed on the ballast trains, I would have come. Unfortunately, no one seems to let me or anyone else know what’s going on.
@@NorthCountryTrains - ballast and ties, specialized rail laying equipment, and professional, out of state contractors. All of it installed to class standards and easy to see if you know what you're looking at.
lndeed somewhere around $22 million dollars was spent rejuvenating that line in the last 2 years or so. 84 miles of track refurbished. l rode it to Beaver River and can attest to its safety and smoothness.
