This is my 3rd attempt to get this posted. Don't know if it's the site, my computer or both. Not really a happy camper. Here goes again:
Over the weekend I took my boat out to the Alexander area for winter storage. I took a different route this time that paralles the DL&W. While reviewing my new route via Google maps, I came upon a RR jct that is nearby. It is the jct of the DL&W and the Erie in between Alexander and Batavia. While looking at the maps, I thought maybe what I was looking at was a mobile home resident. But when I got there and turned the corner onto Old Creek Rd, it was 1 of 4 concrete abutments for the DL&W crossing over the Erie. It this was during the summer, I wouldn't be able to see 2 of them. Wouldn't even be abel to see the Erie even thought it is right next to Old Creek Rd. This was a great find for me. The boat gave me a lot of trouble this year so this was a nice end to summer.
Due to the problems I"ve been having getting this posted, I'm only going to upload a couple of pictures per post in hopes to "save" something before it falls apart.

PIcture taken on the south side of the DL&W row looking north. These are the first 3 of 4 abutment for the DL&W. The Erie row goes in-between the 2nd and 3rd abutment.
Same position as above but looking straight up Old Creek Rd with the 3rd and 4th abutment in view. The wye is to my right but not in view.
