SARATOGA SPRINGS – It’s time to test your knowledge of local trivia and history aboard The Saratoga & North Creek Railway, win great prizes and support the local economy! A specialty coach car event called “First Wilderness Heritage Corridor Trivia Train” will run on Saturday, February 22. The coach car will be on the 12:40 p.m. train departure from Saratoga Springs and wind its way along the Hudson River through Warren County.
A fun “game show style” trivia program will be used to showcase the unique and noteworthy aspects and histories of the towns, villages and hamlets that comprise the region of the Upper Hudson River Valley. Several local farm producers will be showcased including a variety of local Maple products.
They will be offering free samples of their foods and products to passengers who have purchased the special ticket package. Assisting with the trivia game will be representatives from the First Wilderness Heritage Corridor. Prizes will be awarded for correct answers. Some prizes will be “SNC Corridor Bucks” which can be redeemed for purchases at participating North Creek businesses specifically on that day during the train layover in North Creek.
There will be time for shopping in gift shops, antiquing, art exhibits, getting a bite to eat at one of several local restaurants or purchasing a ticket to ride the Gore Mountain Gondola. Light refreshments and door prizes will round out the event. A cash bar and snack bar is also available on the train.
It’s a way to spend the day “over the (Hudson) river and through the woods” of the Adirondack Park’s North Country while being comfortable and snug in a heated coach car. Passengers purchasing tickets will board the train at the Saratoga Springs Station at 12:40 p.m. and return at 7:30 p.m. The cost is $40 per adult, $25 per child/youth ages 3-18. An adult traveling with a child under 3 years old in arms is also $40.
