- Опубликовано: 30 мар 2023
- The Finger Lakes Railway is a shortline railroad based out of Geneva, NY. In this video, we explore the railroad's eastern half from Geneva to Solvay, outside of Syracuse. From an ex-Southern Railway B23-7 running "Southern Style" in suburban Fairmount to GP38-2s leading heavy GS2s, this video covers the best of the Finger Lakes Railway.
Locations:
Fairmount, NY
Solvay, NY
Camillus, NY
Martisco, NY
Geneva, NY
Waterloo, NY
Cayuga, NY
Aurelius, NY
Auburn, NY

My favorite short line. Always stop there on my way to Watkins Glen. Racing and railfanning, it just doesn't get any better.
Nicely done :) Hoping you get a chance to do one for the NYS&W :) Just as unique & interesting the NYS&W plies the ex Lackawanna Line from Solvay down to Binghamton & Eris line east eventually to New Jersey. Mountains, Rivers, back country track is their unique feature along with all EMD power )
Hey, at 0:13, that is true but they also run Mondays and thursdays in maine on "midcoast railservice" they run at 9:00 am and 4:30 pm. the locomotives are 2308 and 2310, both B23-7's and they haul cement loads
There used to be two tracks crossing Bridge St. They ripped out as part of the State Fair-Bridge Street reconstruction project. It was mostly for politics.
The switchers are in Geneva yard now
I sure hope the Finger Lakes Railway expands, gets a whole lot more business and prospers!!
I think that the NYC lightning stripe paint job comes from the early 1950s. Then they got cheap and painted the engines all black.
Fortunately the Finger Lakes is classy and paints most of their units in that scheme!
fun fact: martisco is technically in marcellus, hence the name "martisco". in fact, there was an old railroad that was called martisco! i took a trip down there once to visit a few people, and found that station. ton of cool stuff inside.
Very cool documentation our friend! (Dave).
Another awesome video , well done !!
we call it the new york central reborn
If you want a really cool shot, check out from under the viaduct over Rt 174 just south of Cammilus!
The NYC livery never looked so good! Nice video.
Cool
Actually it's Central New York and Finger Lakes Region....Western New York starts in Rochester to Buffalo.
Geneva is kinda considered considered western
@@jontaylor6068 Geneva is the dividing line between one says "Soda" or "Pop"!!! 😁
Really enjoyed this video, and looking forward to progress on your layout. I model the FGLK HW2 line from the Himrod NY yard to the salt companies in Watkins Glen, in HO. Check it out when you get a chance. Take care - Bill.
Fyi, It's Sol-vay not Sole-vay😅
Marcus hates his people
To bad about the spray painted rail cars.
