NO RR STOP AT SARANAC INN

The Public Service Commission today authored New York Central Railroad to discontinue all services other than the handling of carload freight at its Saranac Inn Station in Franklin County. Carload freight shipments will be handled on local team tracks but under jurisdiction of the railroad agent at [[Lake Clear Junction]].

Since 1950, the station has been on a part-time caretaker basis during Winter months and has had an agent on duty only during the Summer vacation period.

At a public hearing, it was testified that [[Saranac Inn Hotel]] and the [[State Conservation Department Fish Hatchery]] are the principal users of the station’s facilities and that each could be served conveniently at [[Lake Clear Junction]].

The discontinue, will make it necessary for the Inn to get most of its freight, all its mail and all its passengers at the Lake Clear station, which is three miles farther from the Inn, Gillmett said.

It will make the servicing of convention train passengers especially difficult, Gillmett explained, because it had been possible to shuttle them to and from the Inn station in several cars. With the longer run, he said, other means would have to be found.
