Stock signed by E.V.W. Rossiter as treasurer and Chauncey M. Depew as president. Portrait and history of both included. Dr. William Seward Webb's Mohawk and Malone Railway crossed the northern Adirondacks at Tupper Lake Junction, just north of Tupper Lake. Webb was president of the Wagner Palace Car Company. He began by purchasing the 3ft (914mm) narrow gauge Herkimer, Newport and Poland Railway, which ran 16 miles (26km) from Herkimer to Poland, converting its trackage to 4ft81⁄2in (1,435mm) standard gauge, and straightening it to avoid multiple crossings of the West Canada Creek. He then had track built from Tupper Lake to Moira and thence to Montreal, Quebec. This was called variously the Adirondack and St. Lawrence Railroad and the Mohawk and Malone. It opened in 1892 from Malone Junction to Childwold Station with a branch from Lake Clear Junction to Saranac Lake. After 1893, it was controlled by the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. In 1913, it merged with the New York Central and Hudson Riv Item ordered may not be exact piece shown. All original and authentic.
