Atwells is on the LV Hemlock Branch, not on the LV Rochester Branch. I'm going to guess it is where the LV crosses Jenks Road between Lima and Livonia. The other possibilities don't seem to fit well given this map. But, that is a guess.

Here is a very nice picture tour of what remains today of the "High Line" in Manhattan.

Very very nice pictures, Greg. Makes me want to drive down there and see this beauty for myself!

Picture taken facing west along the LV Trail, at Plains Road.

According to http://www.rochester-ralifan.net: "The West Shore Branch was upgraded in 1986 with continuous welded rail. The speed limit on this line varies between 45 and 60 MPH." If you go back behind the buildings alongside of Rt 15a, just southwest of where the West Shore crosses 15a, y...

Amazing find, Scott! I just wasted 45 minutes looking at stuff! Check out the pic of the LV bridge over Honeoye Creek just to the west of Rochester Junction. They had to splice two pictures together, but they didn't line things up properly. The west edge of the bridge appears to be quite a bit north...

I should add that if you are interested in walking the trail to see the LV Genesee River bridge, there is a parking area on East River Road in Rush where the LV Trail crosses. That parking area is not shown on the Monroe Country maps, probably because it is new.

I made my first visit to Tifft Street, Buffalo recently. And as I faced south from the Tifft Street overpass, I saw a lot of tracks heading off into the distance, under the South Buffalo RR bridge, and disappearing to the south. So, what are all those tracks? I presume (correct me if I'm wrong), but...

What about the stretch of tracks from the Genesee River west to Dewey Avenue. Those are old Hojack line tracks, aren't they? They're in bad enough condition that the trains have to go pretty slow through there, and so I'm pretty sure they date back to the Hojack days.

If the walls could talk, I wonder what they would say today. The Buffalo Central Terminal , after standing vacant for nearly 25 years, saw thousands of humans descend on it and wander through its concourse today, not to board trains, but to celebrate the 75th anniversary of this structure, and perha...

On May 8, I saw this caboose on the Westshore Branch in Henrietta, NY. The caboose clearly has the letters NYC on it.
