My favorite hobby is to planespot ex-TWA 757's flown my Delta. These aircraft frequently fly along the Lake Ontario shoreline from BOS to the west coast. A site line from my house crosses over Lyndonville. Anything east of Lyndonville my view is blocked by trees across the street. A perfect view for anything west of Lyndonville. While checking out the town view Google SAT and street view, I discovered that the Hojack Line went through here. There is an ice cream shack up there sitting on the ROW so I decided on a nice day, I'd take trip up there to explore. I was surprised at what was still there.
Here are pictures of what I saw up there.
In this picture I am standing on the west side of N. Main St [63] looking east. You can see the RR ties in the ground. A concrete base of either a coal or water tower. It is still "functional' as a shed is beneath it. The fire station is in the background sitting on the ROW.
I am now on the east side of 63 behind the fire station looking east over Johnson Creek. The stone block abutment is still in place on the eastern bank. I don't know what exists beneath me as I didn't want to crawl around.
Still standing behind the fire station and looking west, there a still plenty of RR ties here. Some go straight ahead while another set goes to the right toward the trees almost to the back side of the buildings.
