Light power preparing to go under the signal at Sodem and switch tracks to go back into the yard. CSX 2230 Road Slug is former C&O 3539 GP35 built in Septemher 1965. CSX 6412 is former C&O 4274 built in January 1978. It received the new YN3 paint at Huntington, WV in 2009. Before that, the locomotive looked like a total mess.

Just crossed Smokey Hollow Rd. on way to the yard in Baldwinsville.

Southbound and about to cross Smokey Hollow Rd. at MP 11 RADIS (for Radisson?).

Barrelling southbound down the line towards Kellogg Rd. In the early 1980's the "TankTrain" used to travel on this trackage between the New York State fairgrounds and Oswego. I myself watched it pass by the fairgrounds, but I never saw it anywhere else on the line. If anyone out there has photos of it, please share! (For a photo of the TankTrain, check out contributor Chuck Edwards site with CR unit# 6081)

On way from Fulton to Baldwinsville with three cars in tow: the Collister, the Fulton,and the Steila-Coom. Approaching Wilcox Rd.

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!
