Is DLWR Still Active?

[161pw165]

Hi All,
I'm new to this particular forum and was wondering if the Depew, Lancaster, & Western is still active? If so, do they operate regularly and what are their connection points?
Thanks in advance for any/all information....

they actually have two divisions..
Batavia and Lancaster..
Batavia is more active than Lancaster, but im not sure of the exact schedules.

DLWR in Lancaster is pretty slow...with at the most one trip a week-not that exciting. Batavia however, is booming with M-W-Th operation, leaving the enginehouse at about 0830hrs or so.

Saw DWLR active in Batavia today (Tuesday)

That must have been an extra. The main crew is almost always on the FRR on Tuesdays, but my guess is that they either changed the schedule in the past week, or more likely, they ran the DLWR and FRR simultaneously with different crews.

The is a very nice article by Charlie Wood regarding the DL&W in the May issue of Railpace. Good job Charlie.
