Thanks for the info on Niagara Junction. How would I access that area ? I'd like to get a better idea of where it is at. Some ten years ago I was in that vicinity for a ROW appraisal on the former Westshore that went past the airport and a quarry. I also recall the LV had a tunnel in that area but as I was paid to look at the Westshore and was on short time I didn't get to poke around. Many times flying into Buffalo airport I have tried to pick up vestiges of LV but never really was sure what I was looking at.
As far as the motive power, does anyone know if it was D&H who selected the units and and quantities or did USRA or ??? simply dictate this was the number and type ?
Overall it looks like the D&H got a pretty good selection of units (both off the LV and the RDG) and also with their own order for the 7600's came out pretty good and really enhanced their fleet. CR keeping the Alco RS's and the C628's that one might have figured would have neatly fit into the existing D&H roster very well.
