Ex-CP MLW Runs an Old Erie Branchline

Ойын-сауық

Buffalo Southern's BC-1 heads south from Buffalo, NY along the Buffalo & Southwestern Branch, an 89-mile line that once ran from Buffalo to Jamestown and was owned by the Erie Railroad, to the small village of Eden to set out covered hoppers at LPC and Laing-Gro Fertilizers while using their ex-CP MLW C424!

    Seems like 4212 is so well suited for its work in the vibrant agricultural industry in the Erie County area. Great footage of the day to day work on this short line.

    Even though I swore I would never set foot in NY again, with 4212 running regularly and if 2010 is back in service (had seen rumors it was being worked on) I would have to make a run up there. Got to love the old B&SW

    Thank you! Fortunately there are a handful of Century Alcos still operating around Western New York, but with the LA&L's plans to overhaul their and WNYP's fleets, that number will soon drop.

    There is that old and ratty looking block signal, the one with the letter A on it, right at the beginning of this video, at the Big Tree Road grade crossing! I did check out Google's Earth feature and spotted a diamond about 1 mile north of this location. Am wondering if this signal (or what is left of it) had something to do with governing train movements approaching that diamond (to the north).

    It was once the fixed approach signal for the diamond, back when the Erie B&SW Branch crossed over the NKP main, now the Norfolk Southern Lake Erie District.
