But, all of those things work because of the beauty of the Adirondacks. With the railways decision to turn miles of tracks into a garbage dump for old oil cars, they've lost me. I hope they acknowledge their mistake and somehow find a way to fix it.
I loved the entire trip! Great service and suggestions for a variety of things to do in North Creek!
This is definitely a MUST DO every year.
My husband and I were looking for something new, different and seemingly exciting for our first anniversary and we wanted to stay in the Adirondacks. So we knew where we were camping. We just needed to find something near where we camped Indian Lake. We found the rail bikes and jumped on that. We loved the ride to North Creek and the ten minute ride to where the bikes were. They gave us the rules and a quick of their history and where the company originated. We wish the ride in and out on the bikes were a little longer. But all in and all we enjoyed and have asked others to join next summer if they come back.
When we did the polar express it was great for the last 5 years. We always got our tickets in July to get the best seating. This year we called from July - Almost October constantly getting the run around about how their finalizing their schedule. Doesn't take 4 months, then find out that they got rid of the Polar Express and now just have a train to Christmas town. We got preferred seating every year for the Polar Express mugs, loved the hot chocolate song and reading the book. Now we will not be back. So disappointed. Guess we'll find a new tradition.
I used to be a huge proponent of this railway. I loved the ski train the many times I took it. I had a blast taking the Polar Express twice. My wife and I even took the train just to wander around North Creek more than once. These memories are why I'm not giving the railway 1 star. It was good once.
This railroad is a treasure in the north country. I've ridden it several times and eaten meals on the train in the dining car. Unbelievable! Wonderful experience going along the river and through the woods where the highway doesn't go. I wish there was a reliable AMTRAK connection north to Saratoga Springs to meet the train to North Creek. As entertainment it's great. As actual transportation it almost works for me. There needs to be a car rental outfit in North Creek so one can continue the trip further. Thanks for the wonderful trips so far!
I wish more seats were available for the diamond class, as well as a food service for the dome car but enjoying a glass of wine created by the conductor was the perfect way to savor the trip back!!!
