Down At The Depot         
SNC 52, in its D&H inspired paint scheme, looks right at home next to the historic North Creek depot. The station itself was constructed in 1874 by the Adirondack Railway and later came under the full control of the Delaware & Hudson in 1902. Perhaps the most well known event in this station's history is when vice president Theodore Roosevelt arrived and learned that he was now the President of the United States after President William McKinley passed following an assassination attempt at the Pan American Expo in Buffalo. Roosevelt boarded a special train here headed for Buffalo and was later sworn in as the next President. In 1976, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
