Steve Sloan's Trains : Trip Notes : 2010 : Monday, June 21, 2010
Monday, June 21, 2010
Monday June 21 was kind of a bust in some respects. At least the morning was. I had information that the Falls Road Railroad was running that day, but the information was wrong. I went to Lockport, NY and found the Falls Road Railroad was not running, but the Genesee Valley Transportation in not too nearby Batavia, NY was.
So, I followed the Erie Canal east to Medina, then drove southeast to Batavia, where I got an Genesee Valley Transportation S6 working and some CSX action. Then I followed the CSX to Rochester where I got some action over the Genesee River Falls. These included trains powered by Amtrak and UP power. Then I headed east to be in a good location to get the Ontario Midland on Tuesday.

Dave Edwards said, "Steve, the "monster" intermodal lashup is Q117. Q117 always gets heavy lashups out of Boston in the mornings and balanced them to Chicago for other intermodal trains. Nice shot."
