Viewing Album:  Adirondack Railroad Big Moose to Beaver River
 
By:Matt Giardino
Dates:9/26/2012 - 9/26/2012
Album Info:Long overdue to post these pics. The following album is from a hiking trip I took on September 26, 2012 from Big Moose NY to Beaver River NY on the out of service (public) section of the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. Service had not yet been restored to Big Moose although track work was happening at a fast pace and regular service returned in the spring. The section in this album however is north of the current end of service section and is the next planned section for expansion. Total distance from Big Moose to Beaver River is about eight miles. The day was longer then expected and the next time I return it will hopefully be by train. Note: the Adirondack Scenic Railroad Operates on the New York State Remsen-Lake Placid transportation corridor which is designated for multi use which allows usage on the non-active sections. In no way do I encourage hiking on active rail lines.

Final look
Title:  Final look
Description:  One last view before leaving town, this small pond is seperated by a cauesway from Norridgewock Lake. At one time a rail spur ran just out of view to the left along the shore to serve a sand pit. It is sometimes visible in old photos of the station area

The moon
Title:  The moon
Description:  The hike took much longer then expected and we were hurting. We did our best to get back before the sun went down but didn't quite make it. We are only a mile and a half from the Big Moose Station but the light is gone. It was pitch black by the time we got back to the truck with only the rails to guide our way.
