IT APPEARS THAT RJ CORMAN HAS COMPLETELY REBUILT THE BUFFALO SOUTHERN FROM BLASDELL TO HAMBURG. LOOKS LIKE A CLASS 1 MAIN LINE. THEY DID A HECK OF A JOB.

Before the engine can be moved to williamsville the prime mover and traction motors are supposed to be removed .The wnyhrs indicated the S2 weighs in excess of 200000 or one hundred tons ouch tough to move with that much weight. Cost to move this would be a lot more than the caboose. They are also planning to bring in a lv boxcar in eventually. The lv is coming back to williamsville depot one piece at a time. The plans for all this are still up in the air depending on money, man power and of course red tape.

The July issue of Railpace says the Buffalo Southern has had an increase in traffic. Mainly from an oil transfer site in Hamburg.

They need additional motive power and would like to revive C420 2010.

I visited the Buffalo Southern on Thursday around 11:30am. Beautiful sunshine, but of course no trains were running.
