I walked a portion of this line going out of Cattaraugus towards Dayton recently to see how bad the damage was from the floods of 2009 and if there was any progress being made towards rehabbing this line. Surprisingly a lot if not most of what I walked was in decent shape with the exception of a few rotted out ties.

I always figured that the Skinner Hollow section was the section that would have the worst track conditions with the most washouts.
