NYC 8255
Title:  NYC 8255
Description:  A group of Adirondack workers were bringing out the railroad's very popular rail bikes from winter storage in preparation for the season starting in a few weeks. The engine house was started by the Adirondack Railway in 1980 but was not finished when the railroad shut down. It was extended and completed by the Adirondack Centennial Railroad in 1992.

ADIX 1835
Title:  ADIX 1835
Description:  Looking south from the crossing in the middle of the yard. You may notice a rail out of alignment in front of the 705. This was a strange requirement of the FRA to allow the railbikes to operate from the siding closest to the station. It effectively made the siding "out of service" allowing the railbikes to occupy the track.

ADIX 3573
Title:  ADIX 3573
Description:  From the north side of Utica Yard, with the apparently out of service M420W #3573 at left and the old "NYC" (really ex-L&N/Hercules Powder) SW1 #705 at right. The #705 was the first locomotive purchased for use when the Adirondack Railroad was formed back in 1992, and it's been around for 32 years, but apparently they sold it roughly 10 years back to a new owner. That owner wanted to move it off the property then, but the friction bearing trucks and lack of alignment control couplers was going to make it too difficult to move, so it was leased back to the Adirondack. It fell out of service back in 2020, and when the lease came due, the new owner announced that he was finally going to move it to one of his properties. It's had it's truck swapped for roller bearing-equipped trucks and is apparently ready to move.
