WNYP #432 and Traveler - 7/28

WNYP #432 and the Traveler business car passed through Avon southbound on the LAL, this evening near dusk. Also on the short train was 1 gondola which was dropped on a siding south of Avon. By 9:10pm the engine and business car were in the Lakeville yard.

I heard them go through the 5 & 20 crossing at 8:15.
Was the diesel red?
Didn't they leave more empty gons (like 5or 6) on the siding on the hill where the other maintenance cars are kept?

Red diesel would be WNYP 432.

Train consist was, departing Hornell, 432 and Traveller along with 6 carloads of company material, four of which were left in Avon and the other two left between Avon and Lakeville.

10 carloads left at Hornell were for furtherance by NS to the B&H in preparation for the upcoming rehabilitation.

Thanks for the details. This makes it much more clear. So now I ask, did anyone get pics of them at Genesee Junction or Avon or Lakeville?

Are LAL/WNYP crews qualified to run on the Rochester & Southern and the NS Southern Tier between Hornell and Silver Springs? Or are they using pilots from those RR's? Sounds like these moves are made with just LAL/WNYP power.

From what I recall, they normally only need a pilot from the host railroad. Though I could be wrong.
