If you want the best chance to see snow in lowland (and then mountain) elevations I'd say head west from MSP on the Empire Builder.

That they have new ownership. Hard to say beyond that, its behind a paywall.

One thing this could do is inform travelers, especially first time travelers, where they want to sit to get an outlet.

That may be an acceptable answer for New Jersey. Not so much for New York. Why not just have them all commute to Philly or Wilmington?

Just lock this, the question is answered and wasn't asked to promote 3 and a half pages of culture war posts. I don't need a knife, if I were getting a pistol I'd get a federal permit, people rarely decide on the 200 pound 6 foot tall man to rob first, and I was asking about the station not about wa...

I'm not sure if it's new or not, but Craigslist is about the last place I'd consider buying "stock" in a building.

Thank you all for the information. As much as I love diner food, especially at 3 AM, I wasn't really interested in leaving the station itself. That's not a bad thought Mr. Norman, and will have a look at it. As it is this trip has to be rethought, the funeral I thought would be in Rhode Island turns...

I may be riding from Westerly down to Penn Station on the 67 and then up to Rochester on the Maple Leaf. What is open in Penn Station when the 67 wanders in 2:15 AM?

You really can't compare numbers of potential hikers for a rail-trail and the Northville-Placid trail. A rail trail would even without any damage from ATV or snowmobile use be a far easier and DRYER hike then N-P. I think I know someone who would have the estimates for the Northville-Placid trail's ...

My understanding was that this line was operated by the state to serve the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid.

What are the longest tourism railroads in the US? Are any longer then a fully restored Adirondack Scenic Railroad will be? I know that the Grand Canyon Railway is a bit over 60 miles long, and is privately owned, is profitable, and has a destination that attracts people from all over the world. What...

Are the passenger cars that are going to be used from the museums collection or being leased from another railroad? As I recall the LAL doesn't have any passenger cars besides their gorgeous private car.

I was unclear as to which "area" I meant. I was thinking of the area between the western Adirondacks and Lake Ontario that the LV had apparently been considering entering into in the early 20th century.
