UTICA, N.Y. — Frank Kobliski is the new president of the Adirondack Railway Preservation Society, Inc. (ARPS), which operates the Adirondack Railroad.
Kobliski, a retired transportation CEO and former VP of ARPS, was elected by the organization’s board of directors to assume the top leadership role after Bill Branson, the long-time president of ARPS, retired from that position effective Aug. 15.
The ARPS board also elected John Taibi — a long-time volunteer with ARPS, noted railroad historian, and recently elected board member — as VP.
The Adirondack Railway Preservation Society is a 501 (c) (3) organization with its main office in Utica. In partnership with the New York State Department of Transportation, the organization holds a permit to operate the Adirondack Railroad, helping to maintain the last remaining historic railroad-transportation corridor in the Adirondack Region.
