CSX in Charlotte

This morning we caught a pair of CSX Geeps sitting at the old New York Central station in Charlotte. Charlotte, pronouced Shar-lot, is an area of the city of Rochester at the point where the Genesee river empties into Lake Ontario. These units are likely going to be working at RG&E's Russell Station generating plant about another mile west of here.

The station has an interesting past as it was an early "intermodal" station. Passengers would detrain here and could board steam boats on the river for day cruises on the lake or a longer trip across the lake to Canada. The station looks great in her new roof and siding as opposed to years ago when her future didn't look all to secure.
