UTICA, N.Y. — The Adirondack Railroad will resume limited passenger-excursion services from Utica to Tupper Lake and from Old Forge to Tupper Lake on Oct. 22 and Oct. 29, after repairs to the tracks following August storm damage.
“The efforts to repair the extensive washouts at two locations have been extraordinary,” Adirondack Railway Preservation Society President/General Manager Frank Kobliski contended in a press release. “The High Peaks Limited, our premier return-trip service from Utica to Tupper Lake, with a scheduled stop in Old Forge, will operate on the two dates.

Kobliski credited the teamwork by suppliers; its business partner, the New York State Department of Transportation; staff, and volunteers for their work in getting the trains back on track.
