At the RIT Train show, there will be several layouts. Flower City Tinplate Trackers, Genesee G Gauge Society, Genesee-n-Ontario Engineers, Rochester Model RR Club Modulars, Several European HO/OO/Z, Live Steam and the RIT club's Layout will be open as well.

That second one is defiantly NYC Dudley, based on the shaping of the top-side shoulder. Can't tell/know if that's for 127lbs or 80 or some such. If it was the main probably 127; but I'm not sure if the 127 had similar hardware; and I know the 80lb looks like that (If the hole on the shoulder is off-...

In a museum before my time... http://rgvrrm.org/about/railroad/nyc497862/index.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The RGVRRM, at the time Rochester Chapter of NRHS, got the car from Kodak in the early 70s as I understand... and it spent a few years in storage on the LAL, as...

I've noticed that too in the past, and I'll bet the salt mine or some other industry. Look at the property lines today... http://www.wyomingco.net/webgis/#app=6535&64ef-selectedIndex=0&ffb1-selectedIndex=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Then take a closer look at th...

The afternoon runs you were seeing were likely the salt trains to/from the mine. That business has "dried" up for the time being thanks to mother nature - my understanding is its a few cars now and then; maybe a train a week. There is also occasional; "rare" moves to Dansville, a...

There is a sign stating its property of CSX hanging on the gate facing Canal st. If you look at the Monroe County GIS mapper (http://mappingmonroe.monroecounty.gov/mpv/) - it shows that parcel includes the adjacent segment of the R&S. It also looks like the right-of-way for the approach to the c...

Interesting. A number of years ago (4-5) I recall seeing a tank car spotted out in Wolcott. Since that time, they had been awarded monies from the state to rehab from Newark through the Wye @ Sodus, and on to Ontario (If I recall) for the bio-diesel. Two summers ago, I remember following the line up...

Just a bit east of the East River Rd crossing; on the south side of the tracks, there are a number of smallish concrete footings - which to me reasonably looks like they could be the footings for a water tower. http://maps.google.com/?ll=43.097403,-77.676333&spn=0.001565,0.002411&t=h&z=1...

Perhaps where the LV connected to NYC just south of the Village of Cayuga; or on the other side of the Cayuga Lake? - where the shared the causeway across.

Just to echo & reinforce other comments... From my experience over the past couple of summers; Salt trains run in the afternoon - Leaving Brooks by 2pm ("normally") ... and getting back sometime around 7pm (maybe). On top of that; there is the local that runs down to Caledonia and does...

The lifting was only so-so; probably enough to get it off the tracks ... there are clear ruts in the ground where the caboose was dragged; err rolled? Unfortunately, to the chagrin of many an uninformed human, the "steering wheel" wasn't steering. Maybe the panel wasn't there, or the crane...

Hmm... lets see the boards on the caboose say "Property of Village of Manchester" followed by "CSX, Rochester, Syracuse Finger Lakes" Or at least something to that effect. I love the panel; pristine 115lbs + rail; with plates, new spikes and anchors ... and brand new 7x9 ties! Bu...

likly the same one ... ?

For a time anyways, after the sale of the ONCT, poles were unloaded in Avon on the LAL. Not sure if thats still the case; likely it got moved to Brook Ave.

As for Genesee Reserve in Henrietta, I do believe the get lumber by rail - or at least in the past few years did.

The concrete engine house was still there as of september last year ...
