I can think of examples of F's running mixed with second gen power but not on the Santa Fe.

Yes, both this line and the line along Owasco lake were very close for part or most of the distance. This is why they were able to make money leasing the land after train service ended. Everyone wanted camps and they jammed them in anywhere they could, the rail bed provided more access than was prev...

I found the flyer for Edgerton and can confirm Feb. 25th is correct.

Under the LV the trains yarded in Ithaca and 2-3 pups hauled cuts of cars up to the plant, or there was enough work to station the engines there. Conrail came in and rebuilt it with welded rail, it was a nice smooth ride in 1994-ish when I rode up from Sayre, unlike the former main below Van Etten t...

Sarcasm?

It was absolutely abandoned, the LV had to reinstall track to serve the power plant. They were making more money by then leasing out the ROW and adjacent property for lakeside camps. It was in really nice shape in the 90s from about Van Etten on up. Somebody could be running a dandy dinner train goi...

RIT show was it's usual slow self. I sold barely half what I did at GTE the week before. I expect next year I will just be an attendee. Lots of people were saying the same, slow sales, a few folks packed up end of day Saturday and left even. I wouldn't care if it was a one day show and I was selling...

The line from Chatham to Hudson was always just a branch. It's still pretty visible in satellite images.

Went by Dec. 4th and it looked the same as it always has.

GTE show was busy as heck up through about 12:30 then it was like someone flipped a switch and I only sold a couple things after. RIT show this weekend and that's probably it for any large shows until Utica. My bad on the date. I can confirm spring Amsterdam for April 2 and next fall Massena show Se...

I just rechecked what I posted originally. Listings posted in italic are not confirmed. I guess I need to make that more obvious in the future.

My understanding is no show was ever actually scheduled.

I want to say there were flyers out for a show but I need to go look at the stack I saved.

No they were not being used.

The 11/20 Virtual Railfan grab bag has some clips from both Fairport and Deshler of trains with a good coating of snow, including an eastbound Amtrak with just about the entire windshield covered in snow, and a CSX with literally feet of snow on top of the cab of the second unit.
