It has been many many years since I've tried to catch the B&P from HV. The best lookout has always been from the top of The Wall. After getting off Cindy's Chairlift I actually went west to a different trail. But then I stopped to look at the view. My instincts kicked in and told me to go back the other way. Go to The Wall-The Train! So I did.
The snow was falling moderately so visibility was not great. But 30 seconds after I dot the the fence I see the crossing signals light up. Here comes the train. I'm laughing cuz it's taken so long to catch it. At 8:05 pm the train passes Holiday Valley. By the time I post this it should have passed east aurora.
Two locomotives pulled the train. Could not make out the cars they were pulling. And, I never saw FRED. Visibility wasn't that bad.
As I walked into the elicottville depot for a snack I see 4 snowmobilers hauling ass on the row. They slow to exit the row and stop. One guy gets off his "mobile" and steps on the wire fence so the other 3can cross it. Then they step on the fence to get the first guy across it. Thought that was pretty bad.
