A wet excursion



Saturday found my nephew and I out at the Lehigh Valley Railroad Historical Society's Fall Foliage Excursion. It was pulled by a BEAUTIFUL freshly painted B23-7, owned by Finger Lakes Railway, painted to pay tribute to the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Those guys do a heck of a job on these engines!

The excursion was to have run from Shortsville, East on the former NYC Auburn Road line to Geneva, and then back. However, an hour into the ride, we turned around just shy of Oaks Corners and headed back. Kind of a bummer, as I had wanted to see the switching puzzle up at International Paper & Seneca Foods from the rails. Here's to hoping for the next time!
