Anyone seen a West Shore mileage chart online, specifically mileposts from Rotterdam to Buffalo? Thanks.

Are you looking for a specific section or area? CR track charts from 1978 and the 90s cover what was left then if you have them.

The whole thing from Rotterdam to Buffalo, when it was intact. So what the mileage was for each station.

The February 1935 Official Guide of the Railways has this line split into several tables with "missing links" in the West Shore sublisting of the New York Central Lines.

Ravena to Utica is 102.23 miles; Rotterdam Junction is shown at 31.83 miles.
Then Syracuse to Wayneport is 66.30 miles.
Then Rochester to Buffalo Central Terminal is 68.38 miles.

An obvious question is what about the section of the West Shore that actually still exists, but I did not see it in that listing.

From the 1908 Official Railway Guide:

A few stations, e.g., Jacksonburg east of Mohawk, may have been closed by 1908.

How about that pair of Mixed trains between Newark and East Buffalo, traveling down what we still call the West Shore between Churchville Junction (or a bit east of there) and Fairport!

Thanks for sharing. I don't have anything close to that old of an Official Guide, paper or digital.
