And at the south end of the line, with some surplus cars Conrail had stored on the siding there.

Few questions: in regards to your pictures - ones a few back of the siding you mention at the " south end of the line" - where would this have been?
Also i had mentioned in a post a few back that the Hojack trestle at Burt may be the last Hojack one standing- however i have nothing to back up my statement .
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thinking now about Oswego - is a bridge they would have used still standing?
thanks

Too many kids jumping off into the water, which is below the dam and I'm guessing means that the water is more shallow so injuries were occurring. The trestle is still there in Google Maps overhead view though. (Looking at it now makes me wonder about Railroad Street and if there was a station there.)

The Burt trestle is still there.

Waterport is in Orleans County going back east, north of Albion @rt 279.
The trestle crossed Oak Orchard Creek although it is a lot more than a “creek” having quite an impressive ravine .
The only trestle left on this ROW I know of is one in Niagara County at Burt, just north of Newfane. This is quite an impressive structure.
Quite a few pics online of this one
