Lake Lila can be seen through the trees. This was once a clear of vegetation and was quite a view from the window of a train from what I have heard. |

Milepost 88 |
| Description: |
Milepost 88 is currently just a post. When the original mileposts on the line needed replacement in the New York Central days they were replaced with concrete ones. In later years, either under NYC or New York State ownership they were replaced with sign posts with metal painted signs on top. Many in this stretch seem to have plywood instead of metal and this is sometimes the result. |

| Description: |
This section has a considerable amount of stone ballast which is not typical of this line under New York Central ownership. Considering the amount of pressure treated "Olympic Ties" also in the area I suspect this section needed lots of work under Adirondack Railway care in 1979-80. |

I didn't get a close up picture, but contractors have already replaced a rail in this section and have installed dozens of new spikes to make the track passable for work trains. Rumor has it the brush contractor the state hired several years ago to prepare for the track rehab did a lot of damage to the gauge because they used rubber tired vehicles instead of hi-rail equipped ones. |

A very short bridge over Rainor Brook with a very serious set of guide rails. Snowmobilers have built plywood sides to help keep snow on the bridge in the winter and they have deteriorated very badly and were unsafe to walk on. |

The siding ended in this general area. Robbinwood had two different stations at different points in history (and was originally called Bog Lake). The first was simply a waiting room in the Section Forman's Dwelling which was to the right on the other side of the passing siding. There is no evidence a building was once here. |

Nearly impossible to see in the picture but visible in person is the remains of the second Robbinwood station, which was in reality nothing more than an enclosed shelter. It is now just some rotten wood covered with moss and other vegetation. It was set back about 20 feet from the track. |

North of milepost 91, a stub siding once existed to the left heading north. This area is now wholly located within Robinwood Park and is only accessible through the Robbinwood Park Association or the railroad corridor. Once you leave the tracks you are officially trespassing (hence no pictures of the station remains).. |
