New bridge installed last year, but with old markings, on the Adirondack Scenic RR. Nice touch.

Ooooh, I like it! The lettering looks identical to that on an existing old bridge in Little Falls, NY. Someone kept the old blueprints.

Hello all,

Does anybody here have some current news on the news Adirondack Scenic Railroad (or would be willing to contact them to get some news)?

A bridge of this magnitude is a major investment - and could easily be in the top-10 of major projects for this past year. Their website does not seem to have a news section. Instead their news section points to an individual's site on the railroad - where the newest news hinted at scrapping a wood bunk-car in Lake Placid.

The bridge in question was part of a road realignment project undertaken by NY State DOT. It was not a capital project for the Adirondack Scenic. Though built as an all welded fabrication, the design approximates a classic riveted plate girder bridge. NY State DOT is the acutal owner of the rail line and has a close relationship with the Adirondack Scenic which provided the historic information to recreate a classic structure as part of the road project.
