Built by Dr. Thomas Clark Durant, vice-president of the Union Pacific Railroad, it was started in 1864 and completed in 1871. After Durant's death, it was taken over by his son, William West Durant, who sold it to the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company in 1889. The two companies officially merged on November 5, 1902. A stage-coach line was established to take passengers  to Durant properties at Blue Mountain Lake and further by water to Raquette Lake. The line operated from 2011 to 2018 as a tourist and freight route called the Saratoga and North Creek Railway. References
