(top) Today at Goodman St. I spotted a MBTA coach in a cut of cars near the old Road Railer terminal tracks. I'm not positive but I think it may be bound for Dansville, N.Y. via the R&S. A rail equipment rebuilder opened up in the former Foster Wheeler plant and has been rebuiling a wide assortment of equipment.
( middle) Last summer I was teaching my 8 year old daughter to shoot trains and she managed to get this shot of CSX # 211 coming into the Goodman St. yard. She's good with both the digital and my Minolta SRT 200 slr!
( bottom) When I was a kid my dad started taking my brothers and me to the yard to watch trains, a few years ago at a train show I bought acollection of photos that were taken at that time.
(1st) I doubt the date on the photo of 10/19/76, I didn't think that CR had painted any units yet. We are on the south side of the tracks at Goodman St. watching a west bound heading towards the Main St. bridge.
(2nd) In this photo CR GP-35 #3663 is heading east towards the Main st. bridge on 1/15/77.
(3rd) On 9/5/79 these SD-45's were westbound through Rochester. These 3 photos show the old Main St. bridge which was a through truss type of bridge with corugated steel panels on the sides which made it impossible to view trains from it.
