Also, in the pic of the red B&O caboose near Dock Jct, it looks like a baseball bat sticking out from the bicycle somehow. Coming from a game, or was it a rough neighborhood? :( Pumpers, that wasn't my bat but I guarantee it was not for self-defense. That was at McCall Road (Barnards) and was p...

The booth is overgrown with green stuff. No one is keeping it clear out. No paint as far as I can tell.

The booth is inside the circle. The black line is a new walkway to the path.

Sat at the crossing at Ridge Road for (this?) train to cross. Had the feeling it was the last one. The last loaded coal train was delivered by CSX in February, if you see coal hoppers moving today, then those are the gathered emptied making their last trip home... -otto- Yes, it was the empty. Shou...

I took this photo from the pedestrian bridge over the mainline on March 15, 2018. Crew is getting ready to take a hefty string of empty hoppers out of Rochester. No doubt CSX and NS will be scrapping the rolling stock as it becomes surplus. http://bluegrass-express.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture...

Have you looked at https://www.historicaerials.com/viewer" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;? They have 1969 and 71. Not great detail, should give a good overview of what you want.

Caught the return yesterday. Around 1pm, guy hanging off the end boxcar. Two cars, two engines. Pictures so so.

Saw a 10 box car freight headed "N' across Dewey today. Funny thing, It had a caboose. Around 12:30 PM

That must be a very recent change, as several of us from the forum hiked that very area from the Box Shop northward about 3 weeks ago. There were NO red ties at Milepost 8 at that time. Based on that post, it appears they are once again running around Kodak outbounds at Kodak rather than taking the...

Another bit of trivia of the modern day picture. To the right of the pizza shop is a group of building called the Riverside Group. In the early eighties a band call 'Eternity' practiced there. Some may remember them playing at the 'Playpen'. Later known as John, Paul, Age and Section 8.

In searching for Yates Dock related photos (the other thread...), I've come across a lot of neat stuff. For one thing, most of the photos (I've been through over 6,000 so far) are old enough to pre-date the building of the dam at Mt. Morris. Sure did flood a lot back in the day... A good number of ...

Work has started at the Charlotte end.

We use to hit the tracks at the field off MacArthur, near the power utility. The RR cops were our main concern and I don't believe we ever saw one. The big thrill swimming the river was yelling snapping turtle and 6 kids trying to climb the steel ladder on the side of the concrete dock at the same t...

Here's "Black Bridge" now. Pics were taken from above and from below the bridge as it appears in this view, looking toward the upper right corner of the photo. What a difference! :( https://www.google.com/maps/@43.2230993,-77.6309129,275a,20y,180h/data=!3m1!1e3" onclick="window....
