    Seems like CP Draw would be an absolute chock point for Buffalo rail traffic as a whole. Somehow, everything keeps on rolling. Thanks for the coverage.

  • @mattygunn693
    @mattygunn6933 күн бұрын

    30. It's different for NS because the control point and drawbridge are controlled by CSX, so NS always has to stop and get permission to cross.

    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).

  • @mattygunn693
