End of the Line Local Work

Heading north with their modified ex-D&H Alco, Arcade & Attica's revenue freight service crawls along the mainline through the Western New York countryside before reaching the end of the line in North Java to swap tank cars and covered hoppers at Buffalo Molasses and the Reisdorf Brothers feed mill!

Snowplow knocking down weeds. Great to see both the agri industry and the railroad going strong. Thanks brother!

[@mattygunn693]

Agreed, thanks for watching!

[@tfs4499]

Great catch! Love the feed mill/agricultural switching! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mattygunn693]

Thanks a lot!

[@Lawrence-St.Lawrence1701]

Wonderful video Mr. Matty! I like those old D&H RS-3M's.

[@mattygunn693]

Thank you sir! I do too, and I'm glad I live relatively close to a railroad that uses one!

[@gp3829]

Cor - that's a bit of bumpy old track. I know a Tele-lens exaggerates it, but if I were the Engineer, I'd take it very easy past that Lagoon.
Great to watch the Switching Ops. and seeing the Track and Factory Layout. Nice Country Scenery too. Thanks for posting.

[@mattygunn693]

As you stated, the zoom lens exaggerates the "bumpiness" of the line. It's hilly, with its fair share of grades, but not very bumpy. Regardless, the speed limit on this line is I think 10mph, maybe less.

Nice! looks like the third track at reisdorf's is almost complete

[@mattygunn693]

Yep, pretty close!

[@sebj2386]

Was going to say same. Nice to see good traffic mandates putting in that third track 🙂

[@garymartz7587]

[@mattygunn693]

Thanks a lot!

[@scottlindquist8417]

Wow, I thought my hand layed model track looked light weight. Are those two industries the only ones on the line Matty?? Great work man!🇺🇸

[@mattygunn693]

Thanks! Yep, Buffalo Molasses and Reisdorf are their only customers.

[@KCTopDawg]

The local madness!

[@mattygunn693]

Watch out now! 🤣

[@BOATNIAGARA]

Nice video !

[@mattygunn693]

Thank you!

[@MarcEdsall]

Nice video man I hear they have num 18 almost done can't wait to see it I haven't been to the A&A since 2017 also do you know where that RS3M is from originally?

[@mattygunn693]

Thanks dude, it'll be nice to see a steamer back on the line once she's all restored! This old girl was built in 1952 for the Delaware & Hudson before eventually being sold to the Tioga Central, then the WNYP before they sold it to the A&A.

[@MarcEdsall]

@@mattygunn693 oh awesome I was hoping it was tioga central 506 I loved riding on that railroad back in the day thanks so much for telling me
Also I didn't realize that WNYP sold it to the A&A nice!

[@jeffreysheridan5205]

Look at her highballin.

[@mattygunn693]

Don't blink, you'll miss it!

[@johnhammer3195]

when did arcade & attica get a big diesel and revenue?? wow! rode the steam there every summer for 30yrs.

[@mattygunn693]

@@johnhammer3195 July 13th 2023 is the day the Alco was delivered after being purchased from the Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad. Before that the A&A used a pair of GE center cabs for their freight and excursion runs.
