The Adirondack railway operated passenger service from Utica to Lake Placid, New York between 1979 and 1981. The Adirondack served the Lake Placid Winter Olympic Games (remember the Miracle on Ice?) and was the biggest alternative to automobile/bus transportation to the games. After the Susquehanna acquired what became its Northern Division, it purchased former Adirondack RS-3 29. Here it is, with NYS&W lettering on the cab, but still displaying its Adirondack roots through a weak patch job on the long hood.
