So the rest of the line to Attica was abandoned. Don't know if it was torn out, or just left to rot though. Thus, the Arcade and Attica does not go to Attica anymore. South of Arcade, it extends about a mile to connect with CSX.The A&A connects with the NS Buffalo Line via the original Buffalo & Susquehana (I think?) line. There the Wye at the Arcade enginehouse is where the original A&A starts.
