September 2021. What a treasure, Utica Union Station.

One more at Tupper Lake station September 2021, view is South / West towards Utica.
There appears to be a lot of ATV use in the area. The ATV folks must be enjoying the new rail trail.

Tupper Lake September 2001

Thank you for posting the link to the NYSDOT plans. I had no idea such planning went into the re-hab of the line. And thanks to UT-1 and his pooch for posting all those great videos this summer.

Thank you.

And hat's off to the benefactors.

I am curious why the county permits the D&H 5019 and derelict passenger car to remain there.
Not county owned track-age, or does the county own that equipment?

The line is currently sitting unused with the exception of the rail-bike operation out of North River. That operation appears to be be quite popular. I passed through North Creek yesterday and was surprised to see the caboose that was previously used by the S & NC and the Upper Hudson River Rail...
