Hi everyone, Looking for info on traffic on the old Shawmut Line. I know its now part of the BPRR, but I wanted to see what movements were happening on the line. Not sure if its the same as in the early to mid 90s when it was still and independent railroad. This is a piece of railroading history tha...

I am later to this topic, but was just doing a lot of research this past summer about the DL&W routes and why it was originally only abandoned by the EL from Groveland to Way;and, why only take out such a small section of line. In reading up on the Phoebe snow, when it was shifted to the Erie fr...

The main problem with the Buffalo Central Terminal is the neighborhood. Its bad, very bad. I have gone to an event at BCT recently, and I would not want to walk off the grounds after dark. Houses by the week seem to be knocked down or collapsing. With a renovation projected the surroundings neighbor...

Shame all those RS18s were scrapped. The ones that are running in NY are near me. I was more asking for what happened to them all so hopefully more could show up on the WNY&P

HI, I posted on this in the ALCO section as well. I am trying to find out what happened to all the Cartier Alcos. I know about the ones that went to NYSW/LA&L and are now operating on the WNYP. That would be what is now their numbers 41,43,636,637,638, 85. I know that 77 and 79 the C636 former d...

Hi, I've been trying to find out what happened to the Cartier Mining Railways Alcos after the arrival of the GEs. I know a handful were scrapped by a marine diesel place. I know there were 8 that went to the NYS&W before returning to Cohocton on the B&H and now reside over on the WNYP (41,43...

Hi everyone, Looking for information in a general schedule for activity on the railroad? What operates on the weekend? I've always wanted to head down to Himrod area and didnt know if anything was on the line on the weekends? Any chance of any NS activity on the corning line as well? Been a long tim...

Hello, I know the topic of conversation about the east end tier but I am more looking for some topics on the NYS&W traffic as a whole and when would be good opportunities to photograph, specifically on the Syracuse Branch? It has been years since i followed the NYS&W and still remember when ...

Yeah I just found that out and am kicking myself right now Its a shame because that line used to have so much traffic, The PRR down to Machias was always a great line to take photos on. It's also kind of ironic, because if they still used the BR&P from Buffalo to Ashford they would not have to w...

I have spent a ton of time on the BR&P over the last few years. Since B&P took over it has been increasingly harder to catch freights. Basically we just get lucky when heading down through Salamanca or catch one at Ashford. Looking for times when Freights leave or arrive in Buffalo. Does muc...
