<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 18, 2012) The logging railroads are gone and most of the sawmills in the northwestern Adirondacks have closed over the last century.

Most of the exhibit is being built from scratch based on historic photos and memories.  The finished layout will be permanently displayed in Star Lake.Bob Meredith and Ted Tate donned their engineer caps and gave Todd Moe a tour of their miniature work-in-progress for today&apos;s Heard Up North.

<title>An imaginary world made of model trains</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20492/20120917/an-imaginary-world-made-of-model-trains</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 17, 2012) As we&apos;ve been hearing, trains have become a flashpoint for debate in the Adirondacks.  But in Pottersville, in Warren County, a Broadway set designer has opened the Adirondack Park&apos;s newest tourist attraction devoted entirely to model trains. There&apos;s no controversy here.  Just dozens of tiny trolleys, steam engines and locomotives, each surrounded by its own tiny world, sort of a Disneyland in miniature.  Clarke and Barbara Dunham brought &quot;Railroads on Parade&quot; to the North Country last year, after exhibiting it for years in New York City.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 19, 2012) A Federal agency has given a Chicago-based company the green light to revive a 30-mile industrial railroad that stretches from North Creek to Newcomb. The track cuts through the Adirondack Park into the eastern High Peaks, one of the most popular destinations for hikers and campers.Green groups opposed the project, arguing that the rail line violated protected forest preserve land. But as Brian Mann reports, they now say their fight to block the project is over.
