Adirondack RR Hi Rail Van
Title:  Adirondack RR Hi Rail Van
Description:  Ford Van of the Adirondack RR. I believe I took this around November of 1979 prior to the Lake Placid Olympics. I think it says BR&W on the door, so it must have come from the Black River and Western in NJ. It looks to be a bit past its prime.
