G&W southbound from Greece
Today we got LUCKY!!! The baby and I were coming home from dropping her older sister off at school and we just happened to catch the R&S coming south towards Dewey Ave. The first shot is of G&W #46 at Barnard Crossing on Dewey Ave. At this point they only had one center beam flatcar.
The second shot was taken at Ridgeway Ave.. The train took longer than I expected to show up here from the Ridge Rd. crossing. We figured out why when the train came into view, they must have picked up a tank car at the Eastman Kodak Co. after they crossed Ridge.
After Ridgeway we headed further south til we hit Lyell Ave. Our last shots were taken as the train headed down the grade after crossing the old "Falls Road Branch". Ahhh, the thrill of the chase!

I ran into G&W 46 running light (well, running by itself) at Retsof on Sunday morning, July 29, 2007. I followed it south, photographing it at several locations including Wadsworth and Mt. Morris. Not being familiar with the area, I lost it as it traveled south from Rt 408 in Mt. Morris. One of these days I will put the pictures up somewhere... Thanks for sharing.
