Scot, the only thing to correct on that page is that only two railroads interchange at Genesee Junction. The R&S is not to interchange with the LAL or CSX there. GJ is for CSX-LAL interchange work. For LAL-R&S interchange, the LAL exercises their rights onto the R&S. and the R&S interchanges with CSX at Goodman Street Yard. The only other time the R&S is allowed through the yard is to get to 84 Lumber and Metalico and only after getting permission from the NF Dispatcher.
The far end of the Junction does have a runaround that is technically owned by the R&S. It's all weird there.
good point!
thanks Luther..
I will just change the wording..
instead of "interchange of three railroads" I could safely say "the junction of three railroads"..
Genesee Junction was once the junction of three Railroads,
just south of Rochester, NY.
The New York Central. (originally the New York,Westshore & Buffalo)
The Baltimore & Ohio. (originally the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh)
and the Pennsylvania railroad. (whose ROW here was originally the Genesee Canal towpath!)
Today, it is STILL the junction point of three railroads!
then explain about the whole "interchange only between LAL and CSX, but R&S can use the PRR spur..etc etc"..
I will try to clean it up!
thanks,
scot
