Anything about closer to Keuka, such as Geneva-Himrod, Watkins, Canandaigua, or Penn Yan.
Thanks,

Wednesday is the best day to catch action between Himrod and Watkins Glen, although FGLK made a run to Watkins yesterday morning and, I believe, came back light early in the afternoon.
Lately, FGLK has departing Himrod (or passing through on the way from Geneva) between ten and eleven AM and returning around three PM.
In addition to the obvious railfanning sites in Himrod and the crossings at Rte. 14 and North Glenora Road, there are crossings with good lines of sight on the Shannon's Corners Road and Dundee-Starkey Road. If you venture to Watkins Glen to catch action at US Salt, make sure that you remain on public property as they have become very sensitive to anyone trespassing and are quite willing to press charges. Cargill action, although less frequent, is easily observed from public areas.
Now that the lumber cars are out of storage at Benton, the run to Penn Yan from Himrod will be even more infrequent.
Not part of this topic but if you are in the area you can catch NS HO6 northbound nightly Sunday through Friday. It now comes through Dundee around eight PM and hits Himrod about fifteen minutes later.
