Trying to imagine how the coal traffic to and from Sodus Pt was moved and coordinated. In Bill Calarosso's book he mentioned at times 5-7 / 70 car NB trains were on the line. And all single track? Being somewhat familiar with the ROW having lived and worked at Sodus Pt at the north end ( '83 - '87 when Genesee closed the Malthouse) I don't see any lingering evidence ( via Sat map views) of any passing sidings.
I did catch the one siding pic in his book with a caption of " yard must be full" , and mentions of pushers setting out at Starkey.
But with the fruit trains, the quarry at Wallington and other loads coming and going , I'm curious about the coordination. And back then the train orders would have been all via paper?
thanks
