Canoes are loaded aboard the Adirondack Scenic Railroad train after their owners had paddled on Moose River outside Old Forge, N.Y., on Aug. 26, 2006. After a couple of hours, the paddlers emerge from a stretch of whitewater several miles downstream and carry their boats up a steep trail to wait on a wooden platform for the train to return and carry them back upriver.
