BRMX 4301 Interior |
Description: |
A view of the nicely restored interior of one of Berkshire Scenic's former DL&W MU trailers, complete with wicker walkover seats. As the museum no longer operates excursions at this location, operations consist of one of these cars and their GE built 50-ton diesel shuttling visitors between the station and display yard. |

BRMX 9128 |
Description: |
As train rides are not currently operated at Lenox, former Conrail 9128 has been regulated to display status in the Lenox yard. Built in 1952 as Pennsylvania Railroad 8528, the locomotive also passed through Penn Central and Conrail ownership. It arrived at the museum in 2006 and still wears its faded but fully intact Conrail blue and white, a rarity for locomotives in 2016. |

NH 3884 |
Description: |
The museum acquired this former NH wood sided baggage car in 2012 from the Railroad Museum of New England, trucking it from Connecticut to the Lenox site. This car is one of the oldest surviving pieces of NH rolling stock, built by the company's own shops in 1896 for use in transporting horses. In 1929, the car was reconditioned for standard baggage service and would operate on regular passenger trains into the late 1950s. |

BRMX 329 |
Description: |
A veteran of northern New Jersey commuter operations, this car was constructed by the Pullman Company for operation by the Lackawanna Railroad out of Hoboken Terminal, across from New York City, to various suburban destinations such as Morristown, Gladstone, and Montclair. With the electrification of the majority of DL&W's commuter lines in the 1930s, this coach was converted into a trailer car to operate with the newly purchased electric MUs. Serving through Erie Lackawanna and Conrail, it was retired from active duty in 1984 by New Jersey Transit and soon sold to the museum for excursion operations. |

Description: |
One of the Saratoga & North Creek's rare BL-2s idles at the station awaiting its next move. The locomotive was built by EMD in 1949, one of eight constructed for the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad. Originally BAR 552, the first 5 in its road number would later be dropped. After working in the Pine Tree State for many years, the unit would migrate to private ownership in Wisconsin, where it was repainted as Janesville & Southeastern 52. It would be displayed with sister unit 56 at the National Railroad Museum in Green Bay for a time before being acquired by Iowa Pacific, refurbished, and sent to the former D&H Adirondack Branch as SNC 52. It now serves in both freight and passenger duties on this upstate New York shortline. |

Title: |
Down At The Depot |
Description: |
SNC 52, in its D&H inspired paint scheme, looks right at home next to the historic North Creek depot. The station itself was constructed in 1874 by the Adirondack Railway and later came under the full control of the Delaware & Hudson in 1902. Perhaps the most well known event in this station's history is when vice president Theodore Roosevelt arrived and learned that he was now the President of the United States after President William McKinley passed following an assassination attempt at the Pan American Expo in Buffalo. Roosevelt boarded a special train here headed for Buffalo and was later sworn in as the next President. In 1976, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. |
