Abolished trains can be enclosed with the strikethrough attribute and so that it is clear to the reader that the train no longer runs.

CSX Meet on Broadway in Cheektowaga on Sunday July 15, 2018 at 10:12am. Was out for a bike ride and caught this meet on the CSX line just East of Frontier yard. CSX 5265 (ES40DC) was pulling a freight out of the yard, stopped over the thruway and then backed it into the yard again. I don't know any of the train numbers, etc.

Wonder if this will make it to our part of town....

Really cool!

The "Cut-off": Since 1852, the railroad track here was pretty much situated in the same spot as trains would enter what is now Letchworth SP in WNY. Captured the top image on Sunday with my drone, with permission to launch from property owner on west side. You can see where the new track will split, the cut-off. Freight trains will now have a wider approach, heading east, as they prepare to cross the new arch at a higher rate of speed (likely 25 mph in the first year). Ironically, this cut-off point is in the precise spot where I encountered two bears inside the park in June of 2014 as I was waiting to take pictures of a train. To say I had an adrenaline spike at the time would be greatly understating the situation. Work is now being done to lay the ballast and track to (and on) the new arch. A trestle and arch, situated side by side--for now. Thanks to Ken Wallace for working as my spotter!

Wonder if this will make it this far North.....?

REAL TRAINS, REAL FUN: Nickel Plate Road Alco S-4 No. 79 was built in 1953, purchased by a private owner in 1987, and donated to our museum in 2016.

One of our members caught this one on Broadway today. Don't remember seeing too many of these with this grey scheme. It's cool though!

Be safe out there everyone! You really can't hear them...until it's too late!

A popular trend in photography is taking pictures and video on train tracks — but it could have deadly consequences. TODAY national investigative correspondent Jeff Rossen shows just how easy it is to get caught in a dangerous situation.
