A couple of days into April,76 a train with a LV loco proceeded east
thru Genesee Cty. This was witnessed by the ex LV m-o-w foreman who
was on the line, under directions of his new boss,ex PC m-o-w foreman,
removing the guts of the target signals to be used for parts.
This train consisted of two cabooses and 15-20 assorted frt cars.
Service continued sporatically from Buff until the connection east of town
was built. All the interlock bungalows went suddenly and apparently
B&M was the destination.
A great gentleman who sub'd taking out the ties and remaining hardware
became disgruntled at what A&K assured he could salvage only to find
some valuable items were already taken.
He gave the almost new switch ties at Stafford Int., crossing signals in
the town of Leroy,all battery and relay boxes from Batavia to P&L and
5 complete target signals to the NYMT.
The poles along the line were only butt dipped in creosote and were
salvaged for firewood.
The rail west of Bat was rumored to have been taken up by a CR rail
train.
There are 6 bridges left on the line west of P&L.
