Yesterday 3/14 the dispatcher put the main out of service for awhile to align the switches. Where are WC & UK located on the line? Did this cause the NS 524 and 522 to both hold up in Olean yard? Anybody know the scoop? How long was the line out of service?

420 & 421 spent some time this afternoon shuffling the yard in Avon, NY The covered hoppers and tank cars were being moved to set the order as needed. There were 6 covered hopper cars at the grain facility today being filled. This morning the crew took tank cars to and from Kraft before heading ...

At 9:30 am this morning #421, 420 & 424 were working in Avon NY . Lots of Power on this Shortline.

I saw #421 leading #420 and a string of cars North at the E River Rd crossing on the LAL RR on 10/6/04. It was doing the job alright but sure could use a paint job. #421 is marked with its numbers directly under the windows much like #426 and others not yet completely painted in the LAL scheme.

Alcoman, This will almost be in your eye all the way to Vandalia. Starting in Hornell on West St. by the overhead bridge. at the wye where the WNYP meets the NS line. North tracks are the NS line to Portage/Buffalo. Follow Rt 21 towards Andover. Railroad will be to your left to the ALmond dam. Then ...
