Here, the train was standing still and so was I, but ha! One big blur. This is when I got on at Toledo, OH.
Got one look at Lake Erie where the tracks are close. I believe it froze over this year. But it was warm again today, so ice is melting everywhere.
By the time we got near Syracuse, NY, the sun was shining. This is Onondaga Lake.
The Adirondack Scenic Railway originates in Utica, NY. It used to go far into the Adirondacks, but now it has a rather limited schedule. The northern end is a bike-rail trail in some places. But I still like seeing the distinctive engine and cars
All efforts to take a picture of the Hudson River focued on the dirty and scratched train window.
The train was on time- even a little early. I was a little concerned about how I'd hold up on the ride, but it went wonderfully well. I managed to sleep some (not all night, but enough). I didn't have to take extra ibuprofen, I took enough food with me. It's a 12 hour train ride, but it's SO much cheaper than driving.
Marie picked me up at Albany, and we are back at her house. We're pretty much done for today, but she is making a list of what has to go to Philadelphia tomorrow.

That's a long train ride. If driving it would take just as long then I would rather do the train ride too. Less money and you can sit back and relax.
Yes, it's about the same time to drive, but I don't feel good about doing it in one long haul any more.
Lulu: "Our Mama and Dada rode the Adirondack Railroad once many years ago. It broke down way out in the woods and they had to wait for another engine to come and hook up to the train and pull them back to town."
Java Bean: "Ayyy, stuck out in the woods with Mama? Sounds pretty good to me!"
Lulu- Dada is ahead of me. I have never, ever ridden it anywhere
