The Upper Hudson River Railroad is a heritage railroad that operates in the upper Hudson River in New York State's Adirondack Mountains.

Primary motive power consists of Southwind Rail Travel Limited ex-Delaware & Hudson locomotive No. 5019.

History

The Upper Hudson River Railroad uses the Adirondack Railway line built by Thomas C. Durant in 1871 to North Creek. North Creek station is where Theodore Roosevelt learned he was to become president of the United States of America after President William McKinley died due to a gun shot wound.

During World War II, magnetite, ilmenite, and titanium were shipped by rail from Tahawus by the Delaware and Hudson Railroad through the region in which the Upper Hudson River Railroad currently offers train rides. The D&H Railroad ran through this region until 1989 when the mine in Tahawus closed.

In 1999, the UHRR started running an excursion train on these tracks and currently has rides that go all the way to Hadley from North Creek.

Recent activity

Each year brings changes to the train schedule at the Upper Hudson River Railroad. 2006's featured train rides are the long-awaited new runs to the south, effectively more than doubling the distance you can ride. The first passenger train in 50 years will make the trip on July 8.

The 2007 season included excursions to 1000 Acres Ranch, the 40 miler to Hadley, and a Payroll Robbery. Various actors playing the roles of clowns, hobos, and a musician/storyteller join the excursions.

Stations

North Creek – North Creek, New York

+The '''Upper Hudson River Railroad''' is a [[heritage railway|heritage railroad]] that operates in the upper [[Hudson River]] in [[New York State]]'s [[Adirondack Mountains]].
+Primary motive power consists of [[Southwind Rail Travel Limited]] ex-[[Delaware & Hudson]] locomotive No. 5019.
-"Methods of acquisition" refers to the type of transaction used to acquire a legal interest in land and can be subdivided into
-*actions taken through a legislative or judicial body and
-*actions taken in the marketplace.
+==History==
-Legislative actions include lobbying Congress for new federal legislation and working with an executive agency to create or revise regulations.  New legislation can be narrow or broad in scope.  A statute might require the Secretary of the Interior to place a specific tract of land into trust, or it may require the Secretary of Agriculture to re-work regulations surrounding a loan program.
+The Upper Hudson River Railroad uses the [[Adirondack Railway]] line built by [[Thomas C. Durant]] in 1871 to [[North Creek, New York|North Creek]].  North Creek station is where [[Theodore Roosevelt]] learned he was to become president of the United States of America after President [[William McKinley]] died due to a gun shot wound.
-Judicial actions can be coercive or remedial.  One might file suit to compel action by a federal agency or enjoin a transaction between two parties; on the other hand, a lawsuit might be filed to have the courts recognize or affirm a legal interest in a particular property (e.g., making a claim under aboriginal title).
+During [[World War II]], [[magnetite]], [[ilmenite]], and [[titanium]] were shipped by rail from [[Tahawus, New York|Tahawus]] by the [[Delaware and Hudson Railroad]] through the region in which the Upper Hudson River Railroad currently offers train rides. The D&H Railroad ran through this region until 1989 when the mine in Tahawus closed.
-Legislative and judicial options are ultimately directed toward effecting a land transaction between two (or more) parties.  The types of market transactions available fall into several general (and overlapping) categories: purchases, exchanges, gifts and options.
+In 1999, the UHRR started running an excursion train on these tracks and currently has rides that go all the way to [[Hadley, New York|Hadley]] from North Creek.
-The type of transaction entered into is often controlled in part by the type of property interest being sought.  These "modes of acquisition" include
-*ownership in fee simple or as trust beneficiary
-*ownership jointly or individually, and
-*ownership of an easement or restrictive covenant.
