The Adirondack Carousel and The Adirondack Scenic Railroad
This video was taken on September 21, 2012 at about 12:15 p.m. showing the close physical relationship of the Adirondack Carousel in the William Morris Park and the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. One sees the Adirondack Scenic Railroad train leaving the Union Station in downtown Saranac Lake, N.Y. on its first return trip of the day to Lake Placid, N.Y. The economic relationship of the carousel and the railroad is a symbiotic one from which both greatly benefit, as do the business communities of Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, N.Y. This same railroad line's tracks extend all the way to Utica, N.Y. where they directly connect to Amtrak, although at the present time the 80 miles of track between Saranac Lake and Thendara, N.Y. are out-of-service trackage and cannot be used at present for passenger service. However these tracks could easily be restored, as earlier the tracks between Snow Junction and Thendara, N.Y., and Lake Placid and Saranac Lake were restored. This would give the North Country direct railroad access to the rest of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The Adirondack Carousel is located at the corner of Depot Street and Bloomingdale Avenue (New York State Route 3), and Saranac Lake Union Railroad Depot is located on Depot Street approximately 600 feet from the Carousel. One can see in the video that the only thing that separates the northbound (in railroad terms) passenger loading platform from the lawn which surrounds the carousel is a chain link fence.

New York Central ALCO RS-3 No. 8223 by MTH Electric Trains exclusively for Jr Junction Train & Hobby
This O gauge 3-RAIL model of the famous New York Central Alco RS-3 #8223 is a special custom-run release exclusively available from Jr Junction Train & Hobby. Released in commemoration of our 20th year in business and in honor of the prototype locomotive owner Albert Kallfelz, $50.00 from the sale of each locomotive will be donated to the Central New York Chapter, National Railway Historical Society Inc. to fund their continual restoration of antique railroad equipment.
Locomotive 8223 was the first RS-3 delivered to the New York Central Railroad by the American Locomotive Co. (ALCo) as a class DRSP-6A diesel in August of 1950. It became Penn Central in 1966 and finally Amtrak in 1976. It spent much of its life in mainline and branch line service but was most often found in the upstate New York region. Railroad enthusiast Albert Kallfelz purchased this locomotive from Amtrak and with assistance of others fully restored it to operation and reapplied the classic lightning stripe decoration. For many years it served faithfully as the flagship excursion power of the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. It has pulled thousands of rail passengers through the beautiful state park from the city of Utica to Old Forge (Thendara) on New York Central's former Adirondack branch.
Albert Kallfelz has been involved with historic rail preservation as well as an active member of the National Railway Historical Society for over fifty years. He has lead the Central New York Chapter as president for many of those years including 1998 when the Chapter hosted the NRHS National Convention. Today, the Central New York Chapter owns and maintains two railroad station museums at Martisco and Central Square, NY and a large railroad equipment display at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse NY. The Chapter has a membership of many people of all ages throughout the United States. They maintain a large modular O Gauge railroad layout and hosts the Great New York State Model Train Fair, the second largest show of its type in the northeast for over 45 years. More information about the Central NY Chapter is found at cnynrhs.org

Real Adirondack Stories | Intersecting Wakes: Paddling in the ADKs
Canoeing or kayaking in the Adirondacks opens up new opportunities with every paddle stroke. “We’re always finding new places to go check out, new things to sniff, new pictures to take ... you can never get bored.” Dennis and his dog Algonquin share their passion for paddling the diverse waterways of the Adirondacks. They cross paths with Ezra and Audrey, and their two young children, who add “We’re trying to have our kids enjoy what they’re doing and when we’re canoeing, everyone is happy.”
The Adirondack Region ( is one of the most diverse destinations on the East Coast, offering unparalleled outdoor recreation throughout its dazzling lakes, wild mountains, and charming towns and villages. Established in 1892 by the State of New York amid concerns for the water and timber resources of the region, the Adirondack Park today covers an area larger in size than Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Canyon and the Great Smokies National Parks combined, and is the largest park in the lower 48 states.
The boundary of the park, known as the Blue Line, can be found etched on historic records and clearly defined on modern maps. Encompassing 6 million acres of public, constitutionally protected forest preserve, as well as privately owned land, the park – in a word – is epic.
THE ADIRONDACKS | Program Tease | PBS
PBS Premiere: Wednesday, May 14th, 2008 at 9:00 p.m. (check local listings) Sprawled across six million acres in upstate New York, the Adirondack Park is by far the largest park in the lower 48 states. Yet it is the only one on the continent in which large human populations live and whose land is divided almost evenly between protected wilderness and privately owned tracts. Through the varied perspectives of many passionate characters, this program explores the remarkable history, seasonal landscape, and current state of the Adirondacks.
