You're close. The unit is privately owned and is leased by the Adirondack Scenic. It's owner chose the scheme.

Thank you very much Tree. Here is my son in front of the unit.

Lots of folks joined us for the celebration. Reported numbers included 235 on the Saturday train from Utica, and 121 on the Sunday Utica Train. On the locals, 338 rode the trains to Otter Lake, and 116 "visited" Carter. Almost 150 rode the $2 caboose hops.

Up on the "North End," Hobofest helped swell ridership to 534 on Sunday alone.

Anyone have a current and up to date locomotive roster for the ADIRONDACK SCENIC RR and their various paint schemes?
