I took a run down I390 last Saturday to go to an auction, and at around milepost 37.8 or 38.7 on 390, I glanced over and saw that the rail bridge over a creek had been barricaded off from both sides with what appeared to be posts or ties driven into the ground, and orange snow fence. Looks to me like they don't want anything crossing that bridge. Verified on the way back to Rochester, and yup, it's barricaded off pretty well. Not enough to stop even a slow moving train, obviously, but a collapsing bridge dropping the lead locomotive into the creek would do that quite handily...
When I got down to Dansville, I saw American Motive Power's yard had several units on the tracks. As I was driving at the time I couldn't really concentrate on what they were but there were definitely at least three bright orange BNSF 6-axle units sitting there, a couple of blue locomotives, and possibly others.
As this is the only access to Dansville via rail, seems like all that equipment is landlocked to me.
