In the post-World War II period, the NYC's North Star train,[2] and later, the Iroquois, provided direct sleeping car service from New York City's Grand Central Terminal to Lake Placid. On April 24, 1965 the NYC ran its final train on the route.[3][4]
The Adirondack Railroad runs a tourist train between Lake Placid and the Saranac Lake Union Depot.
