Thomas Clark Durant, who had helped to build the Union Pacific railroad, acquired a large tract of central Adirondack land and built a railroad from fashionable Saratoga Springs to North Creek.
Later he married Ida Baxter, former Postmistress of Port Washington and they were still together when he died at his summer home in North Creek, New York on September 27, 1940 of a heart attack.
By 1871, tracks had been laid from Saratoga to North Creek, New York, at which point, financial problems caused the project to stall.
