I haven't heard anything about it recently. I wonder if it's on hold?

Railroad to Gore?
Sorry to distract from all the riding and skiing going on, but has anyone heard anything about when the "ski train" from Saratoga to North Creek is supposed to start running? Saw the tracks today at numerous crossings and stations and it all looks pretty well finished. All the stuff that I can find on it is from 2006ish.

The Warren County portion of the tracks is done. It's in Saratoga County's hands now.

not completely sure here...............there was some talk about a side link to a closed down industrial plant in Corinth, an effort to keep that plant a viable option.
i don't think the snow trains will ever materialize. back in the day, before interstates and before most people had their own cars, the snow trains brought skiers from albany,schnect., etc. ok.
trains take forever to get anywhere. it's now much quicker to just drive.incoming .................DUCK !

I think it's due to begin operation about the time the chip-fab plant opens in Malta
.
That train thing is a major waste of money IMHO.

There are a lot of people that live and work in Manhattan that don't own cars. It might appeal to them as long as it didn't take too long. I doubt anyone who owns a car would use the train.
