Thanks again Tommy. This really is very helpful info and I do appreciate anything further you are able to find out. My interest in the timetable operations stems from my model railroad which I have based on the branch from Lake Clear Jct to Lake Placid. Whilst not being obsessive about operation it ...

Hi Tommy Thank you so much for that very detailed explanation. Greatly appreciated. Very clear to me now how the timetable worked. That being said, and using your example of Trains 2 and 3, am I right in thinking that Train 2 Departs Lake Placid at 8.20am, arrives at Utica 12.50pm, Departs Utica as ...

Hi Pat Thank you for replying. Looking further into the timetable, unless I am mistaken it appears these trains actually ran to Utica ? Does that sound correct ? If I was living in Lake Placid, would I be right in thinking that there were 2 trains daily i.e. #2 that departed at 8.20am and #104 that ...

Hi there I'm hoping one of you learned gentlemen here could assist with helping me understand the attached timetable. Does Train #105 become #104 and Train #2 become Train #3 and/or vice versa ? Or does #105 become #2 for the return journey to Lake Clear Junction ? Any advice in interpreting the att...

Hi Noel Thank you for replying. Yes, I have both those books including the seperate volume "Where Did The Tracks Go In The Central Adirondacks". The Michael Kurdish books in particular are very helpful. Using the researchers friend "Google" I have also come across another book &q...

Hi there I am interested in building a scale model of the Ray Brook station as it was prior to the fire of 1928. I have done some research via "Google" and have found some interesting information, however what would make my task easier would be some architectural drawings of the station as...

Hi Noel

Of course, silly me !!

I'll do some research using D&H sources.

Thank you for pointing that out to me.

Appreciated.

cheers

From New York Central employee timetable no. 22 which was dated November 5, 1967 I found that they had a scheduled second class train from Utica to Lake Placid on Sunday only departing Utica at 11:30 AM, Remsen North at 12:15 PM and arriving Lake Placid at 10:00 PM. The return left Lake Placid on M...

Hi Noel Thank you again for this timetable information. Really appreciate you taking making the effort to track it all down. When you have the time, whatever information you can get for me in regard to freight operations into Lake Placid via Tupper Lake sometime around the early 1950's would be grat...

As per the 1949 Through freight schedule: UM-2 and MU-1 were through trains and did not do local work. Trains AD-19, ZD-1 and YD-1 all dropped cars at Utica for the Adirondack division locals. Local trains UR-1 worked Forestport to Saranac Lake. UW-1 worked Gabriels & north. Hi there I took a l...

This is a puzzeling arrangement, how did stations like Raybrook, Saranac Lake & Lake Placid receive traffic from Utica? By late 60's, after AEP had Adirondack severed at Lake Clear Jct., we served this territory out of Utical once a week. Traffic from the west was set of by DA-24 trains during ...

Hi Noel Thank you for that information. Certainly gets me headed in the right direction. That information re the employee timetables and wayfreight between Utica and Lake Placid would be extremely helpful. If you manage to find some time in the future to look that up I would be very grateful. Altern...

Hi guys Thank you all so much for your replies. I have a copy of the Michael Kudish book "Railroads of the Adirondacks" which is very informative, but very little on freight operations. From the very detailed maps contained in the book I can see, for example, there was quite a lot of rail ...
