A Winter Day on the Adirondack Railroad: Climbing Remsen Hill

It's March 4th, 2022, and I'm in Utica for an eventful day volunteering on the Adirondack Railroad. We have a good Montreal Locomotive Works unit ready to pull our six-car train, but worsening weather conditions are leading to concern...

I’d like to thank Erin, Al, and Karol for their patience with me and everyone who makes this fantastic operation possible. See you in Tupper Lake!

[@Adirondack-Mohawk-DistrictRF06]

i’m glad we were able to have you on board with us

[@WeatheredRails]

Very nice. I will most certainly have to take a ride this summer

[@NorthCountryTrains]

Later in the season (fall) we will have Utica-Tupper trips up the entire line!

Far too cold for this Bear, and once again you apppeared to have far too much fun. Thanks for taking the time, Harrison.

[@robertshelton9881]

Thanks. I didn't know about this railroad at all. I do love to drive up to the Adirondacks when there's snow on the ground. I'll have to try this trip out.

Great video and catches. Have a nice rest of your Friday evening.(Steve)

Great trip up to Remsen. Already subscribed, and maybe see you during at least one visit this summer (now that I can once again cross the border).

Nice video for rail fans! Cool commentary. Love the snow scenery. Liked and subscribed!

[@NorthCountryTrains]

Thanks very much, subscribed to you as well and hope to see your speeder on the rails sometime.

Fun video Harrison, and I just loved the views of that snow-covered countryside! It reminded me of a New Hope School impressionist painting. The music was great too, I loved those instrumentals!
And I can attest to the riding abilities of those Norfolk & Western cars from personal experience. Can't beat 'em!
Thanks for bringing us along!

Nothing beats the ALCO sound.

[@wilber53]

ALCO= Always Leaking Carbon & Oil

[@wilber53]

Did it for 37 winters, after I retired I'd could never go back doing it, especially in the winter.

[@LisbonRailProductionsandF1]

Magnificent catches of the trains coming by and pass, i like it 5 stars, keep up the great work, my friend, liked and subscribed, Greetings from Portugal.

[@LisbonRailProductionsandF1]

I have some great videos of the trains that you will enjoy a lot

[@williammiller2750]

Great video from Okeechobee Florida.

[@jamesspash5561]

Montreal locomotive works is an ALCO.

[@railfankasey]

Great job! See you around

You seem to diss Amtrak’s small windows, but you’re too young to know / remember that Amfleet rolling stock was purposely designed to have small windows because the Boston and NY/NJ areas were subject to horrendous amounts of trackside rock throwing by vandals back when they were built - to the point that Boston’s MBTA F40PH’s had riot grates welded to the windshields. The small windows cut down on shatterings and replacement costs. (Just soes yuh know … )

[@jamesspash5561]

If you ride/run this line, you need to find and read "The Fairy Tail Rail Road" the history of building this line.

Watch for fallen trees...

😱

[@lp9_videos]

Great video! What happened to the 2400?

[@NorthCountryTrains]

Fuel or oil (I forget which) line ruptured, it’s back in service mow

[@shauntakata1762]

How does the train get HEP?

[@NorthCountryTrains]

A generator provides power to the train.
