| Remarks & Notes |
| The end was fast approaching for the 4th Sub of the old BR&P under the Chessie (CSX) banner. The G&W subsidiary R&S would assume operations of the line from Rochester to Ashford Jct. on 7/21/1986. I made every possible effort to get trackside and photograph the daily train on the line. At that time the "schedule" was one train a day. RS-97 would run South and the crew would return the next day on SR-94. The call times were usually early morning so the train ran the entire line in daylight. On this day I drove South along the line until I intercepted the Northbound SR-94 just leaving Salamanca, NY. Chessie 4157 leads SR-94 under the experienced hand of engineer Keith Fischer at the Route 98 overpass just North of Farmersville, NY. The R&S would literally run this line into the ground and then abandon the section from Silver Springs to Machias Jct., which included this portion of the line. |
