Mohawk and Malone Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr. William Seward Webb's Mohawk and Malone Railway crossed the northern Adirondacks at Tupper Lake Junction, just north of Tupper Lake. The line was formed in 1892 by the merger of the St. Lawrence & Adirondack Railroad with the Herkimer, Newport & Poland Extension Railway and the Herkimer, Newport & Poland Railway (Herkimer to Poland). After 1893, it was controlled by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad.
It opened in 1892 from Malone Junction to Childwold Station with a branch from Lake Clear Junction to Saranac Lake. In 1913, it merged with the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad as the "Adirondack Division".
