NYCSHS Announces Another New
Silver Rails
Through the Heart of the Park
New York Central Railroad’s Adirondack Division
By John Taibi
This book celebrates the past operation of the New York Central’s Adirondack Division (as well as portions of the Ogdensburg and Ottawa Divisions) and the current service being provided by the Adirondack Scenic Railroad into, through, and out of the Adirondack Park.
During railroading’s historic times, the New York Central and its forebears maintained service over 271.09 miles from Herkimer and Utica to Remsen, and on to Tupper Lake and Lake Clear junctions, Lake Placid, Malone, and Adirondack Junction from which Montreal was reached via the Canadian Pacific Railway. The present ASRR schedules provide for trains to run over only about a third of the Central’s lengthy territory, yet the Park has remained the formidable constant, maintaining its vast forests, breathtaking mountains, and powerful waterways for rail travelers to admire and contemplate today as in the past.
This book is a comprehensive history of the Adirondack Division of the New York Central Railroad.
The book provides 800 pages of history of the railroad, towns, industries, and people found along the Adirondack Division of the New York Central. There are 1720 images of the Adirondack Division with 442 of them in color.

all i want to do is buy a book. it should be easy but it’s not because this website sucks
Go to the Collinwood Shop as the ad explains. http://www.NYCSHS.net Several hundred people have ordered the book so perhaps the problem is you and not the site.
I ordered on Sept. 11th Know thy Mohawks. I have yet to receive it?
We have no plans to reprint either of those books.
