Me too. Here's a Blasdell connection to scale, probably not the best option. Shown as a 9 degree curve with spiral. No. 15 turnout at east end and #20 at west end as a tangent/LH from the curve. Within relatively decent operating parameters given the problems surrounding the whole issue, but still - environmental and property/NIMBY issues. Approximate parcel lines (my labels) shown, some omitted for clarity. Erie County shows parcel A the garage, B owned by Owasco River RR (a NYC land holding Co), C is the Legion (would need about 100 feet or so of their back yard), E is owned by the gravel company people, ballfield F is owned by the Village of Blasdell. Any major project like this would presumably involve complete replacement of the Electric Ave bridge and probably lowering/widening of the street to improve clearances. Property issues all the way out to BV adjacent to CSX would likely preclude that alternative.
