B769         
With their work done here at Birds Eye, the crew is getting ready to head back to the small yard in Baldwinsville. This track used to go further north and into Oswego, but not anymore. You might notice in the background behind the train, that the road has been paved right over the tracks. In fact, the rail was never lifted, it's still there all the way to Oswego. You just have to look through the weeds and trees to find it. Also, at several crossings along the way, old cross-buck signals are still in place even though the road is paved over the tracks!

mikey cruz General I looked at an aerial shot & saw they just dumped a load of gravel and put big traffic cones to act and a bumper? the track looks good I wonder why they abandoned it? 7/23/2011 11:36:56 AM
Dave Curtis General I'm not sure, Mikey, what you're talking about with the gravel and big traffic cones. And, I can only guess why it was abandoned; in fact I should have been careful about using that word because I can't really say one way or the other that the line has officially been abandoned, even though it looks that way. 7/23/2011 4:51:58 PM
John Danielson General Cool! Just switched out some reefers? Nice shot and interesting about the rest of the out-of-service line. 7/23/2011 5:58:25 PM
