Do you know about where this 2nd RH+TT was?
I thought the Erie was kicked out of downtown near, or just after, the steam era..
im a surprised a new RH would have been built!
I cant think of where one would have been..Gang Mills yard?
I thought Gang Mills always just had the "diesel house"..but perhaps not..

The new NYC Corning was built north of the city where the current yard is. I said the NYC was kicked out like the Erie was. The NYC built again; the Erie didn't build anything. They stuck with Gang Mills.

Bill Gordon's book on the Kanona & Prattsburg confirms the TT in Prattsburg but did little to help locate it.

New ones, all IRC in Lockport.
43°10'27.40"N, 78°40'37.06"W
43°10'47.77"N, 78°40'48.38"W
43° 9'36.92"N, 78°41'9.03"W
43°10'7.86"N, 78°41'57.54"W

I was surprised the IRC had these. When I looked at the streetcar lines around Rochester, I didn't find any.

In Bing, you get the lat/long from the "Aerial view" but not the "Birds eye view"..
Sean, using your link:

http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=qvgwgy ... vl=2&sty=o

I switched to Aerial view, right-click on the turntable to place a dot on it,
then get the link, which is:

http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=41.099 ... l=17&sty=a

The coordinates are in that link:

41.099221908229396 -72.3638670128448

what I have been doing on the webpage is using those bing coordinates, (or just using Charle's coordinates,
since he has provided a ton of them) I remove the tilde ~ , then put the coordinates on the page, but then provide a link to the "Birds eye view" instead of the "aerial view"

You guys are amazing. I thought I could add something to this post. I saw that the Bevier Street Roundhouse impression is still there as is the impression for the bridge and pit. Ofg course somebody beat me too it. I didn't see anybody mention the former Erie Roundhouse in Port Jervis. The building is long gone, but several tracks are still there including a complete lead. The bridge and pitt are in very good shape.. The last time I saw it used was to turn the C&O 614, and the NYSW 142 in October 1998
