Many come out to greet, ride on Sunday’s first train
Dan McClelland
About 150 people were at the Junction train station to greet the first Adirondack Railroad Preservation Society’s revenue train of the 2023 summer season. Trains will run from Utica to here and back every Sunday through September and possibly early October. There’s four hour lay over here where passengers are shuttled by school bus to various points in town. Although the first run north only attracted 19 paying riders, the two-hour trip from Tupper Lake- the first of its kind in decades- to Sabattis was much more popular with nearly 135 people making the trip.
