I'll give it a shot.
Starting from the south end of the line working north,
There are two stubs at the end of the line, these two stubs are storage tracks.
I am sure you can identify the ADM stubs. There is a runaround that leads to the old engine house. There are two tracks going into the engine house with switch in the middle of the runaround providing access to these two tracks.
North of this, there is Sweetener's Plus with two stubs and a "run-through" track.
Here we see the lead to the new five track engine terminal and looking a little further north we see the five track yard. Track five in the yard is effectively the Lakeville Team track when needed for that function. Transload can occur almost anywhere at the Lakeville facility.
We proceed up the hill a little bit and come across Conesus Lake Junction where we see the old main (now Branch) to the Lakeville PACMA.
Into the woods we go north by "southwest-ish" through some beautiful scenery. Look above you as you round the first real curve and there is I-390.
A little further and Cross Pole Bridge Road above grade. Swing south a little more and swoop around another curve northbound this time. We blow the crossing for Papermill Road and to the west of the mainline we see a small stub. This stub is occasionally used for loading logs.
Keep on northbound, blow for the crossing at Littleville Road, and the for Darby road, and again for Jones Lane, and as we near downtown Avon, more crossing, keep in mind, we're coming downgrade so set some air or use the dynamics if you have them. Try a little bit of blended braking.
Don't forget to blow for North Littleville Road, or Linden Street. You don't have to blow for Spring Street though because we're on the bridge.
As we near main street, we can see where the old MOW siding used to start and head North. The switch was pulled out last summer though.
We stop just before Main Street in Avon (US20/RT. 5) and wait for the gates to come down. Looking southwest, we see the lead to Kraft and coming north off this lead we see the stubs that used to service the King Cole Bean and Avon Feed. The Kraft lead splits into two stubs at the Kraft plant.
A little further north, we are presented with Avon Yard. Three tracks make up the bulk of the yard body and then there is the lead that keeps running north many car lengths and connects with the mainline north of the Barilla switch.
And as we continue north out of the yard, looking to the west and you'll see construction in progress of an addition to Avon Yard. The switch for this expansion is just sound of the Aldon Corp drive way, with the Barilla switch just north of the Aldon Corp driveway. The Barilla yard complex consists of three tracks (IIRC). Hey look at that, we're back on the main and now we're looking at the construction of the second switch for Howlett's farm, the stub is becoming a full siding. This is on the east side of the main by the way.
Highball North. Don't forget to blow for the private crossings and Meadowood Road.
Now we're coming by Golah road, blow for the crossing and now we're on the bridge across the creek.
Between here and there the New York Central Peanut Line used to come through here (Golah).
Looking northbound, we see where the Lehigh Valley used to fly over...a somber sight indeed.
Fear not, we're coming across Route 251 and to our East is the Rochester and Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. There is a switch coming off the main leading into their yard lead. If you'd like to see more of the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum, I'd encourage a visit to their website
http://www.rgvrrm.org or stop in a work day or during a special event.
More crossings ahead like Martin Road and East River Road, we go under I-90, and our next stub leads to RG&E. Don't forget to blow for Lehigh Station Road then we blow for Bailey Road.
We round the Conrail Extreme Curves (just a name for these tight curves that I like to use because Conrail felt it was a good idea and maybe it was but that is a discussion for another day).
If we look south, we'll head to onto the branch to Matthews and Fields Lumber and High Point Mills ( about three miles that way)
But today we'll continue to the interchange at Genesee Junction (three tracks).
Before we get there though, we'll come across the Genesee Reserve Supply siding. south of the main as we head west into the Junction.
Any questions, please ask.
