No signs of life on Ex-Erie WNY&P Olean-Hornell 12/20/17

6 in of snow on the rails. WNY&P had got reefer cars from Hornell interchange but no trains seen thru Hinsdale in weeks

Any customers anywhere between Olean and Hornell?

Cuba Cheese is between Olean and Hornell. They were a shipper in the past, but I don't know if they still use rail.

Although the WNYP can use the Olean-Hornell segment, they seem to prefer having the B&P bring in freight from greater Buffalo these days.

WNY&P serves Cuba Cheese a couple times a week.

The WNY&P has been storing cars around Wellsville.

Trains rarely run to Hornell anymore.

WNY&P gets all their cars from the B&P in Salamanca.

Re B&P/WNY&P interchange at Salamanca: Where is the interchange? Old BR&P branch from East Salamanca into the city and the Erie is gone. I know Salamanca fairly well but cannot picture where and how the interchange takes place.

Interchange happens at B&P E. Sal. station with WNY&P riding into town on B&P from the Windfall connection.

While we're including the B&P in this thread, does anybody know when they are departing Salamanca for Buffalo? Still around 7:30pm M-F?

I haven't been to Riley's [PRR Depot] in East Aurora for several years. Once my dad and I caught them inbound to Buffalo at 1230pm. Pure luck on that one.

I was hoping to return to Riley's sometime soon for a late dinner if necessary.

^I live in Arcade and the train usually goes north after 9pm. Sometimes after 11pm.

Where and how do they serve them? Is there a siding somewhere in Cuba?
