Hey guys,

What are the Falls Road Railroad operations currently looking like? I live a little bit North of Brockport and am going to try shooting something different for once (might as well start with what's closest). Essentially what days do they run, approximate times, work along the way, etc. Also, do they use radios commonly for communications, or is cellphone preferred? Thanks in advance!

I'm not quite sure if this is relevant any longer but this is what Rochester-Railfan.net lists as the operating schedule:
Rochester-Railfan.net wrote:"Monday and Thursday - other times as needed. Train usually reaches Brockport by around 2:00 pm. Lockport customers switched daily. Runs to Niagara Yard take place as needed. "

Monday - Thursday schedule still in effect. Sometime all the way to Brockport, sometimes only to Knowlesville. Depends on demands. Lockport generally switched Mondays and Thusdays. Can reach Brockport anytime between 1030 and 1500. If they get a heavy day and the work isn't finished there may be a extra the next day but no guarantees. :wink: :wink:
