Eastern Railroad Discussion > FGLK 411, please

I have to travel to Toronto and plan to go via upstate New York. If I do it right, I can target Geneva, NY for about a day and a half. Is this an operating hub (per my information)? Given the short time frame involved, I wouldn't want to go too far afield and only want to get Finger Lakes, Falls Road and Ontario Midland. I can get all the CSX and NS I want here in Cincinnati, so please don't make suggestions that I visit those roads.

TIA,

BobE

Yes, Geneva has their yard, engine house, etc.

Falls Road was running Tuesday and Thursday.

The best day for Finger lakes would be a Sunday when they head east from Geneva to Solvay and back in the morning meaning good light both ways. Weekdays wont be great with the shorter days now as they'll leave Geneva for Solvay early afternoon and return west in the evening.

What are they normally using for power on the Geneva-Solvay job these days?

Finger Lakes power can also be found at Himrod Jct.

Normally two GP 38-2's are on that run.
