There had not been a revenue passenger train from Tupper Lake to Utica since August 5th 1980 . My husband Doug was the brakeman on that last train, so there was no way we were missing the opportunity to ride this excursion.

New York state has the largest number of ALCO diesel locomotives working in everyday service. Here are some of them. Soon I hope to chronicle all of them.
