The New Kid on the Block |
| Description: |
The new Saratoga & North Creek Railway excursion train enters the Amtrak station at Saratoga Springs. This new operation on the former D&H Adirondack branch started operation July 2011, replacing the Upper Hudson River Railroad as designated operator of the Warren County owned line. The Alco switcher, acquired from the defunct UHRX, is used to help with the runaround move due to the lack of a runaround track at the station. |

The southbound trip slides through Corinth, the last station before their final destination of Saratoga Springs. The original station was demolished sometime ago.

SNC 8524 Side Profile |
| Description: |
The largest piece of motive power on the Saratoga & North Creek line, B39-8E was brought in at the start of operations by parent Iowa Pacific to handle freight service. As the freight operations have been slow to materialize the unit has found a role in passenger service on the railroad's daily trains between the Amtrak station at Saratoga and the historic North Creek depot. |

SNC 8524 |
| Description: |
Built by GE in the fall of 1987 as one of a fleet that would eventually total 102 units, this locomotive was originally part of the LMX leasing fleet owned by General Electric. Later purchased by Iowa Pacific and first operated on the San Luis & Rio Grande of Colorado, the locomotive would be painted D&H style and moved east for the startup of SNC operations in 2011. Originally intended to be primarily a freight unit, it has seen quite a bit of use on the passenger side of the railroad. It was sold off near the end of 2016 and today operates on the Huntsville & Madison County Railroad Authority down in Alabama. |
